Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Appeal Number: 5731
Decision Date: May 23, 2019
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Kamal Ramnares
Student Email: 16kr7@queensu.ca

Course: COMM 303
Term: Fall
Year: 2018
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Kamal Ramnares:

I was sorry to read in your letter of appeal the random act of violence that you experienced during the Fall term and certainly understand that your courses may have been impacted by that circumstance. I have carefully considered your appeal to drop COMM 303 (F 2018) past the academic deadline and after reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. It can be a challenge to make up work in a group project and your appeal letter explains that you did attempt to complete the components of this course as best you could.

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 well in your continued recovery.

Yours sincerely,


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