Decision Date: August 30, 2019
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Zhaocheng Yang
Student Email: 17zy22@queensu.ca
Course: SPAN111
Term: Summer
Year: 2019
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Course: CISC121
Term: Summer
Year: 2019
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Zhaocheng Yang:
I was sorry to read of the difficulties you have experienced this summer regarding a health related condition and I have carefully considered your appeal to drop SPAN 111 and CISC 121 (S 2019) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances. I am also pleased to see that you have reached out for help and support from the Student Wellness Services office. I do need to warn you that the appeals process is not meant to be used to manage a chronic condition and appeals to drop failed courses will likely not be granted in the future if they are based on the same circumstances. Appeals for late drops are generally reserved for those who encounter problems after the drop date or whose problems become more acute late in the term. I would strongly recommend that you continue to work with your counselor and suggest you also consider registering with Accessibility Services who can assist you with both your health and academics. During week 7 of the term (just before the drop deadline), please take time to carefully evaluate whether you are keeping up in each of your courses. Evaluate whether you€™ve been doing the readings and completing all assignments or tests on time. If your circumstances are having an impact in your courses you should drop them by week 8 of term.
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.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
