Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 7081
Decision Date: December 7, 2020
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Alexandra Legge
Student Email: 19ael@queensu.ca
Course: KNPE 251
Term: Fall
Year: 2020
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Alexandra Legge,
I am sorry to have read in your appeal letter the challenges you experienced due to a recent concussion and I have reviewed your appeal to drop KNPE 251 (F 2020) after the drop date. After careful consideration of your appeal and the documentation you submitted, I have decided to grant your appeal.
I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances and your vigilance in receiving care for your concussion, but I need to warn you that the appeals process is not meant to be used to manage a chronic condition. An appeal based on the same circumstances may not be granted in the future. I encourage you to continue to work with your health care professionals and to consider registering with QSAS if you have not done so already. A QSAS Advisor can help you manage both your health related challenges due to your concussions, and your academics. This could include continuing to take a lighter course load and would include evaluating the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term. The 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 in your recovery.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
