Dear Yunuo Wang:

I was sorry to read of the challenges you outlined in your letter of appeal and I have carefully considered your request to drop CISC 121 and PSYC 221 (W 2021) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

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 the Important Dates section on the Arts and Science web page. Please ensure you assess your progress in your courses during week 7 or 8 of the term. If you find that you have fallen behind in your attendance, readings or assignments, it is your responsibility to drop by the end of week 8. Appeals for late drops are typically only granted when a problem occurs, or becomes acute, after the drop deadline.

Let me also point out our Academic Consideration service that is available to assist students with arrangements for accommodations if they have experienced extenuating circumstances. This may be an option for you Yunuo and would perhaps help you manage your academics as you also try to assist your family. Here is the link to information about the process of submitting a request for Consideration: https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/undergrad-students/academic-consideration-for-students

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.

Yours sincerely,


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