Dear Sachit Dhiman:
I was sorry to read in your letter of appeal the challenges you have experienced with regards to your mental health and have carefully considered your appeal to drop SOCY 211 (W 2018) and ECON 111, PSYC 241 (F 2018) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
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 the Important Dates section on the Arts and Science web page. Please ensure you assess your progress in your courses or discuss your options with an Academic Advisor during week 7 or 8 of the term. If you find that you have fallen behind in your attendance, readings or assignments, it is your responsibility to drop by the end of week 8. Appeals for late drops are typically only granted when a problem occurs, or becomes acute, after the drop deadline.
I encourage you to continue to make use of the various services available to you here at Queen€™s including Student Wellness Services, which you suggest you will continue to reach out to, but also QSAS who may be able to assist you with accommodations to support both your health and academics.
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 pleased to see the progress you made last year and wish you the best of luck with your studies in the coming year
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
