Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 4984
Decision Date: September 24, 2018
Associate Dean: Johanne Benard, Ph.D.
Student Name: Weixiang Wang
Student Email: 15ww18@queensu.ca
Course: ENIN200
Term: Fall
Year: 2018
Category: Add a course after the academic deadline
Instructor: Gregory Bavington
Dear Mr. Wang:
I have carefully considered your appeal to add ENIN 200 (F 2018) after the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to deny your request.
As you know, courses must be added on SOLUS within the published deadlines. The Academic Regulations (Appeal of Academic Decisions, IIIb) stress that exceptions to this will only be waived under exceptional circumstances. The deadlines for adding courses have been designed and established in order to provide sufficient time for students to obtain the relevant permission, determine their interest in the course material, to consider their ability to handle each course, and to evaluate their overall workload. In the absence of extenuating circumstances, beyond your control, which would have prevented you from meeting the add deadline as published in the Arts and Science Calendar, I cannot reasonably waive the Faculty Regulation.
Extenuating circumstances normally involve a significant physical or psychological event that is beyond your control and debilitating to your overall academic performance. Additionally, these kinds of extraordinary situations are normally supported by documentation from a professional.
Your appeal does not present any extenuating circumstances which prevented you from adding these courses by the deadline, nor does it supply any sufficient supporting documentation.
If you wish to appeal the Associate Dean€™s decision to the Board of Studies, you must submit an appeal to the Board of Studies within 21 days of the date this decision was sent. Guidelines for appealing to the Board of Studies and the appeal form can be found at: http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/students-at-queens/academic-appeals (click on €œBoard of Studies€) Do not use the on-line application for this process. You may contact the Office of the Ombudsman for advice on matters of procedure and on obtaining a representative. That office is located in room 421 Robert Sutherland Hall and the e-mail address is (ombuds@queensu.ca).
Sincerely,
Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
