Associate Dean: Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Monica Ferneyhough
Student Email: 17mf15@queensu.ca

Course: DEVS 240
Term: Fall
Year: 2018
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Ms. Ferneyhough:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop DEVS 240 (F 2018) past the academic deadline and after reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I suggest that you evaluate the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term and drop courses if you have not kept up with the course requirements as carrying a lighter course load may aid you in achieving your academic goals.

Note that any change in academic registration may impact government or private-firm student financial assistance eligibility and/or funding. Please consult with the Student Awards Office, Office of the University Registrar, Gordon Hall, to understand the potential implications of changes to course or program registration and/or the consequences of not successfully completing the required course load.

I encourage you to repeat this course when you are able to devote the time required and to continue to work with your health care professionals as you have outlined.

Yours sincerely,


Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
