Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 4944
Decision Date: October 22, 2018
Associate Dean: Johanne Benard, Ph.D.
Student Name: max azzopardi
Student Email: 13ma5@queensu.ca
Course: 445
Term: Winter
Year: 2018
Category: Request an extension of an incomplete grade
Instructor: Prof. Ware
Dear Mr. Azzopardi:
I have carefully considered your appeal requesting an Extension of an Incomplete grade in ECON 445 (W 2018). After reviewing your file and the information received from the department, I have decided to deny your request.
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.
While you report that you have experienced headaches since 2013 and that you have been recently diagnosed with IBS, your appeal fails to outline how those particular circumstances impacted your ability to complete the course by September 15, 2018 nor does it include documentation which supports that full timeline.
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. Their office is located in room 421 Robert Sutherland Hall and can be reached by phone (613-533-6495) or e-mail (ombuds@queensu.ca).
Sincerely,
Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
