Dear Mr. Lau:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ECON 351 (F 2014) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I would like to note that while I am granting your request I do remain concerned about your wellbeing. I would strongly suggest that you continue to seek regular personal counselling through Health, Counselling and Disability Services to help you better manage your personal challenges. If you continue to experience difficulties and you find yourself falling behind in your winter term courses, please ensure that you drop any courses as needed by the academic deadline (February 27).

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 am confident that in the future you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page. These deadlines 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.

Yours sincerely,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
