Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 5242
Decision Date: January 15, 2019
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Toni Parisi
Student Email: 14tap7@queensu.ca
Course: PSYC 100
Term: Fall/Winter
Year: 2016
Category: Request credit (CR) standing in a course or courses
Instructor: Jill Atkinson
Dear Ms. Parisi:
I have carefully considered your appeal to receive Credit standing in PSYC 100 (FW 2015-16). After reviewing your file I have decided to deny your request.
As you know, Academic Regulation 10.3.2. states that, Credit standing in a course is reserved for situations in which a student, who has completed and passed all of the work of the course including the final examination, but because of illness or other extenuating circumstances beyond their control, earned a substantially lower grade than might have been expected, normally a grade of C or lower€. The integrity of Arts and Science transcripts in general would be greatly diminished if the Faculty were to effect changes to students€™ records without clear and compelling documentation indicating that the student€™s performance was significantly compromised by extenuating circumstances beyond his or her control.
Certainly your father passing in February 2016 is clearly an extenuating circumstance but the course grade pattern does not indicate significant impact or effect on your grade and as a result, the granting of Credit standing is not warranted.
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).
Good luck with your future studies.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
