Dear Mr. Blake:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop GPHY 208, GPHY 227, GPHY 229, GPHY 243 and GPHY 258 (F 2014) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I am encouraged to see that you have a well thought out plan moving forward to help you balance your academics with your ongoing health challenges. I hope that you follow through with this plan fully and continue to monitor your academic progress carefully. If you feel that your work load is too heavy or you are at risk of failing any further courses, please ensure that you drop courses as needed within the academic deadlines. The final date to drop a winter term course is Friday, February 27. These deadlines 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,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
