Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 7185
Decision Date: January 11, 2021
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Vivien Wong
Student Email: 20myw@queensu.ca
Course: CISC 101
Term: Fall
Year: 2020
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Vivien Wong:
I was sorry to read that you have been dealing with a medical condition which had worsened during Fall term. After carefully considering your appeal to drop CISC 101 (F 2020) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined as well as your documentation.
I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances and your strong documentation as well as your plan to enrol in a long-term counselling program and maintain regular meetings with a personal counsellor. However, 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. Going forward, I suggest you carefully evaluate 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 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.
Vivien, I see you are currently not registered in Winter term courses and I encourage you to take the time you need away from your studies and focus on your health and well-being. We will look forward to your return when you are able to do so.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
