Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 5599
Decision Date: May 1, 2019
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Katharyn Davis
Student Email: 14ked4@queensu.ca
Course: HLTH235
Term: Winter
Year: 2019
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Katharyn Davis:
I was sorry to read that you have been dealing with circumstances which have worsened this term and impacted your studies. After carefully considering your appeal to drop HLTH 235 (W 2019) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined as well as your documentation.
I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances but need to warn you that the appeals process is not meant to be used to manage ongoing challenges. An appeal based on the same circumstances may not be granted in the future. I encourage you to continue to work with Student Wellness Services and, should your health issues continue to impact your studies, you should consider registering with QSAS. I was pleased to read in your letter of appeal that you will complete some of your courses from this term and do hope that dropping this course will give you the time needed to attend to the outstanding requirements in those courses.
In the future, it is important that you evaluate the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term and if you have fallen behind in the course work you should drop courses by the drop deadline. The drop deadlines, as they have been outlined in the €œImportant Dates€ section on the Arts and Science web page, have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students and to facilitate the timely completion of university studies at Queen's.
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.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
