Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 6121
Decision Date: September 20, 2019
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Iain Sherriff-Scott
Student Email: 15ifss@queensu.ca
Course: HIST 401
Term: Winter
Year: 2019
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Iain Sherriff-Scott:
I was sorry to read that you have been dealing with a medical condition which worsened during the winter term 2019. After carefully considering your appeal to drop HIST 401 (W 2019) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined as well as your documentation.
I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances but need to warn you that the appeals process is not meant to be used to manage a chronic condition. An appeal based on the same circumstances may not be granted in the future. I encourage you to continue to work with your therapist and suggest you consider registering with QSAS and work with an accommodation advisor who can help you manage both your health and academics. I strongly suggest that you pause and evaluate the impact of your health on your studies during week 7 of term. If you are falling behind in your course work or your health is impacting your studies, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop deadline. The drop deadlines, as they have been outlined in the €œImportant Dates€ section on the Arts and Science web page, 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.
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.
