Dear Kenzie Paterson:
I have carefully considered your appeal to waive the Faculty ruling that you be Required to Withdraw for One Year. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request as well as drop HLTH 101 (F 2018); HIST 122, HIST 124, LING 100 (FW 2018/19); and ECON 112, HLTH 102, LING 202 late. You may now resume your studies at Queen's University.
As you continue in your course of study it is your responsibility to take steps for the successful completion of your program and maintain a GPA consistent with the requirements of your plan. These are some strategies that I strongly encourage you to consider:
€¢ Choose courses carefully. Achieving a higher grade in a repeated course will improve your GPA. This course of action will help to ensure you will be in good academic standing and not at risk of being required to withdraw again in the future.
€¢ Reflect on your program choice. Are you in the right plan for your interests and aptitudes
€¢ Consider carrying a lighter course load. Carrying six courses during the Winter term 2019 would have been overwhelming in the best of times but carrying that many courses when you were having health related difficulties was not a good academic decision.
€¢ Seek out the advice necessary to improve your academic performance. Academic counselling is available through an advisor in the Faculty of Arts and Science Student Services Office (main floor Dunning Hall, phone 613-533-2470) or through your plan department.
€¢ The Learning Commons in Stauffer Library also provides a range of services, including workshops designed to improve study skills and develop strategies for meeting the demands of academic life.
€¢ The Student Wellness Services Centre located in Mitchell Hall offers personal and academic counselling free of charge to all Queen's students, as well as individual consultation to aid in coping with difficulties of a more personal nature.
€¢ Consider registering with QSAS who can assist you with accommodations to help support both your academics and health requirements.
Going forward, you should be attentive to your progress and assess whether you are actively engaged and attending classes, completing your readings and assignments. If not, you should drop any courses in which you have fallen behind in by the end of week 8 (the drop deadline). Appeals for late drops are generally reserved for those who encounter extenuating circumstances after week 8.
Please feel free to contact the Faculty Office for advice or assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
