Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Shannon Pounder:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PSYC 397 (F 2020) past the academic deadline and have decided to grant your request.

Shannon, when reviewing your transcript, it appears that you may have experienced some challenges during Winter term 2020 and I would be happy to consider an additional appeal requesting to drop those courses late if you can provide information about extenuating circumstances during that time period as well as supporting documentation.

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.

I am confident that in the future you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page. These deadlines have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students at Queen's.

Yours sincerely,


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