Student Name: Omid Motameni

Term: Fall
Year: 2019

Dear Omid Motameni:
I have reviewed your appeal to drop PSYC 271 (F 2019) after the drop date as well as change the grade you received in BIOL 205 (F 2019) to Aegrotat standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructor about the learning outcomes achieved in BIOL 205, I have decided to grant your appeal.
The instructor of BIOL 205 has submitted a replacement grade based on the work you have completed, which will appear on your transcript as a B along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.
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. Instead, I encourage you to continue to work with your doctor and register with QSAS, as you suggest in your letter of appeal that you will do. A QSAS Advisor can help you manage both your health and your academics and help support your studies in the future.
Going forward, you should pause and evaluate the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term. The week 8 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.
Best of luck with your courses this term.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
