Dear Eilidh Smith:

I was sorry to read of the challenges you have experienced while on an exchange here at Queen€™s. No doubt this situation has been difficult for you and I will grant your appeal to drop ANAT 315, HLTH 200, PHAR 230 and PHGY 215 past the academic deadline based on the circumstances outlined.

I encourage you to follow through with you plan to continue to meet with a counsellor, when you return to Scotland, who can assist you during this difficult time.

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.
Associate Dean (Studies)
