Dear Amanda Manti,

I was sorry to read of the difficulties you have experienced this past academic year. After carefully reviewing your appeal for credit standing in MATH 121B (S 18) and COMM 200, STAT 263 (F 18) and to drop ECON 212 (F 18) past the academic deadline, I have decided the following:

1. To grant your request to drop ECON 212 (F 18) as well as to grant your request for credit standing in COMM 200 and STAT 263 (F 18)

2. To deny your request for credit standing in MATH 121B (S 18).

I have granted the late drop in ECON 212 (F18) and credit standing COMM 200 and STAT 263 (F 18) based on your extenuating circumstances using the documentation you submitted for your request for Academic Consideration from November 2018 as it clearly outlines the timeline, severity and impact on your studies during the Fall 2018 term. However, I have denied your request for credit standing in MATH 121B (S 18) the documentation you submitted for your appeal does not make reference what was going in during the Summer 2018 term.

If you wish to appeal the Associate Dean€™s decision to the Board of Studies, information and deadlines can be found at www.queensu.ca/artsci/students-at-queens/academic-appeals (click on €œBoard of Studies€). Do not use the on-line application for this process. The Office of the Ombudsman can also assist students with advice about policies and procedures. You may contact the Ombudsman at ombuds@queensu.ca or by phone at 613-533-6495.

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 wish you continued success in your degree progression.

Sincerely,



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