Dear Owen Stewart,

I am sorry to have read of the difficulties you have been dealing with regarding your father€™s health. No doubt this has been difficult for you and your family. I have reviewed your appeal to change the grade you received in ANAT 100 (F 2019) to Credit standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructor about the circumstances surrounding this course, I have decided to grant your appeal.

Your grade in this course will appear on your transcript as CR.

Owen, it is clear that you were managing these difficult challenges during first year and I would be willing to change your grade in HIST 121 (currently a grade of D+) to Credit standing as well. If you wish to accept this offer, please email asc.appeals@queensu.ca within 21 days of receiving this letter and I will amend that grade as well.

I encourage you to reach out to our Student Wellness Services office in Mitchell Hall if you wish to discuss the difficult challenges you are coping with Owen. A counsellor can help support you as you manage your academics and your difficult circumstances.

Best of luck in your courses this year,


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