Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.

Student Email: 16jkm7@queensu.ca

Course: Comm 200
Term: Fall
Year: 2019
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Joseph Mikhail:

As per standard practice, I have reviewed your appeal before it proceeds to the Board of Studies for consideration. Based on the new information you supplied with this appeal, I have decided to change my original decision and grant your request to drop COMM 200 (F 2019) late.

As mentioned in my previous letter dated December 12, 2019, I strongly encourage you to reach out early in the term if you have challenges accessing the course materials and to check SOLUS for your course enrolments. As mentioned as well, a good practice for all students is to carefully evaluate their progress in courses during week 7 of the term. If a student has fallen behind or if their health is impacting their studies, they should drop courses by the week 8 drop deadline date.

Best of luck with your current courses.

Yours sincerely,


Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
