Dear Cory Bartlett:
I was sorry to have read in your letter of appeal the difficult circumstances you outlined and have reviewed your request to resume your studies at Queen€™s. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. You may resume your studies beginning Winter term 2021. I am also dropping late the following courses so they will not impede your degree progression:
Fall 1992 €“ GEOL 238
Winter 1993 €“ BIOL 111, GRMN P81, PHIL 265, RELS 264
Fall 1993 €“ GPHY 209
Fall/Winter 1993/94 €“ CHEM 111
Winter 1995 €“ PHIL 303
Summer 1995 €“ PHAR 100
Fall 1995 €“ PHIL 203
Winter 1996 €“ CLST 204
Fall/Winter 1995/96 €“ SOCY 122
In addition, I am also granting you Credit standing in the following courses:
Fall/Winter 1991/92 €“ PHIL 250
Winter 1992 €“ PHIL 255
Fall/Winter 1992/93 €“ CLST 129
Summer 1993 €“ GPHY 100
Winter 1994 €“ BIOL 111
Summer 1995 €“ RELS 265
Fall 1995 €“ PHIL 318
For your information Credit standing courses will count towards your degree requirements but your GPA will not be negatively impacted by the low but passed grades.
Due to the nature of your previous difficulties, I have made the decision to place you on part-time status.
Note that as a part-time student you will only be allowed a maximum of 18.0 units in the Fall-Winter session with no more than 9.0 units per term. In order to be eligible to progress from part-time to full-time studies, you must fulfill the following conditions:
1. Completed a minimum of 24.0 Queen's credit units, excluding repeated courses, from the time at which they were admitted part-time on a degree Program; and
2. Achieved a minimum Cumulative GPA of 1.90;
OR
1. Completed a minimum of 18.0 Queen's credit units, excluding repeated courses, from the time at which they were admitted part-time on a degree Program; and
2. Achieved a minimum Cumulative GPA of 2.90.
It is my hope that the slower pace of part-time study will allow you sufficient time to remedy the personal and academic difficulties you have faced in the past and thereby enable you to be more successful in your future studies. See Admission Regulation 10 at: http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/students-at-queens/academic-calendar for more information on the transition from part-time to full-time study.
As you continue in your course of study it is your responsibility to take steps for the successful completion of your program and maintain a GPA consistent with the requirements of your plan. These are some strategies that I strongly encourage you to consider:
€¢ Choose courses carefully and be attentive to your progress, ensuring you assess whether you are actively engaged and attending classes, completing your readings and assignments. If not, you should drop any courses in which you have fallen behind in by the end of week 8 (the drop deadline). Appeals for late drops are generally reserved for those who encounter extenuating circumstances after week 8.
€¢ Are you in the right plan for your interests and aptitudes
€¢ Seek out the advice necessary to improve your academic performance. Academic counselling is available through an advisor in the Faculty of Arts and Science Student Services Office (phone 613-533-2470) or through your Plan department.
€¢ The Learning Commons in Stauffer Library also provides a range of services, available remotely, including workshops designed to improve study skills and develop strategies for meeting the demands of academic life.
€¢ Familiarize yourself with the Academic Consideration options which you can review at: https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/accommodations for future reference.
In order to reactivate your student file, you must complete a €œReturn to Studies€ form: https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/sites/default/files/return_to_studies.pdf and return it to our office as soon as possible. Please ensure you indicate your desired Degree Program and Plan (concentration). Once our office has received departmental approval of your Degree Plan, your file will be reactivated. For information on registration and course selection, please see: www.queensu.ca/artsci and click on €œUndergrad Students€. For information on tuition payment and accessing SOLUS (Queen's on-line student system), please see: www.queensu.ca/registrar or contact the Registrar's office at (613) 533-2040. Please be advised that Academic Regulation 13 currently states that at the end of each Winter Term in which a student has attempted 18.0 or more units since the time of their previous assessment, that student is assessed for academic progression. If, at the time of this assessment, the GPA is below 1.60 an academic sanction is triggered.
I commend you for returning to your studies and having a sound academic plan which will lead you to the successful completion of your university degree.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
