Dear Jane Tracy:

I was sorry to read about the health issues that have been impacting your Fall term classes. I have carefully considered your appeal to drop GNDS 311, GNDS 320, GNDS 340 and MUTH 201 (F 2020) past the academic deadline and I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances as well as the information supplied by your health care provider within your supporting documentation. If you haven€™t done so already, I encourage you to register with Queens Accessibility Support Services (QSAS) so that you can work with an advisor to help you manage your academics along with your health-related challenges going forward.

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 ongoing recovery.

Yours sincerely,


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