Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 6039
Decision Date: July 30, 2019
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Savie Edirisinghe
Student Email: 17ske@queensu.ca
Course: PHYS 117
Term: Fall/Winter
Year: 2019
Category: Request aegrotat (AG) standing in a course or courses
Instructor: Anne Topper
Dear Savie Edirisinghe:
I have reviewed your appeal seeking Aegrotat standing in PHYS 117 (FW 2018/19) and am sorry to have read of the difficulties you experienced during your first year of study but particularly regarding the impact your health had on your physics exam. Ideally, I prefer that students complete their exams on an alternate date but based on your explanation and your documentation, I agree to grant your appeal.
The instructor of PHYS 117 has submitted a replacement grade based on the work you have completed, which will appear on your transcript as A- along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.
I encourage you to continue to reach out to your support networks and strongly suggest that you follow through with your plan to register with QSAS who can help put into place accommodations that will assist you with both your health and your academics.
Going forward, I suggest that you monitor your health and the impact it is having on your courses by week 7 of the term. If you have fallen behind or are finding the work load too difficult, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop date deadline. The appeals process is not meant to manage a chronic condition but is designed to assist students who have experienced difficulties after that date.
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.
