Decision Date: January 25, 2021
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Wanyi Pei
Student Email: 16wp@queensu.ca
Course: RELS131
Term: Summer
Year: 2020
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Course: FILM260
Term: Summer
Year: 2020
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Wanyi Pei:
I was sorry to read that you were struggling with health-related challenges during the Summer and Fall semesters and I have carefully considered your appeal to drop RELS 131 and FILM 260 (S 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 your extenuating circumstances as well as the proactive steps you took by putting a pause on your studies during the Fall term so you could attend to your health. Going forward, a good practice for all students to follow, is to evaluate their progress in their studies during week 7 of the term. If a student has fallen behind in a course or finds the material too difficult, they should drop courses by 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.
Wanyi, I do hope that your courses go well this term but, if your health issues require continued monitoring and support, I encourage you to consider registering with QSAS if you have not done so already and work with a QSAS advisor who may be able to help you manage your academics along with your health-related challenges.
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 future academic pursuits.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
