Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Appeal Number: 7041
Decision Date: November 16, 2020
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Ciara Casalino
Student Email: 17cac@queensu.ca

Course: BIOL 205
Term: Fall
Year: 2020
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Ciara Casalino:

I am sorry to read in your letter of appeal that you were registered in a course by the department that you did not wish to enrol in, and under the circumstances, will certainly agree to drop BIOL 205 (F 2020) past the academic deadline.

If you wish to request a tuition refund for this late drop, you must submit an appeal to the Registrar€™s Office. Here is a link to the form that you will need to submit: http://www.queensu.ca/registrar/sites/webpublish.queensu.ca.uregwww/files/files/Tuition_Fee_Amendment_Appeal_Form.pdf

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.

Ciara, your appeal has raised an issue around mass enrolments in courses that I will follow up with to try and minimize the impact this may have on future students.

Best of luck in your health-related recovery.

Yours sincerely,


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