Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.

Student Email: 16slm5@queensu.ca

Course: PSYC570
Term: Summer
Year: 2020
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Sophia Mauritz:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PSYC 570 (S 2020) past the academic deadline and after reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on the documentation that you supplied as well as the information that I received from your instructor regarding this course. I was sorry to read that you were not able to proceed with the Special Directed Project (570) despite your enthusiasm for the project and your efforts to remain connected with the individuals involved throughout the Summer term.

I see that you were accepted into PSYC 323 for the Fall 2020 term to replace this course within the PSYC_Lab requirement of your degree plan. I encourage you to connect with an Academic Advisor within the Faculty of Arts and Science to review your Academic Advisement Report and ensure that you are aware of your remaining requirements needed for your Degree Program. Please email asc.advising@queensu.ca to make this request.

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 (Academic)
