Dear Lucas Cassano,

I am sorry to read that you were struggling to manage PHIL 318 (F 2020) along with challenges related to COVID19 and I have reviewed your appeal to change the grade you received in that course to Credit standing. After careful consideration of your extenuating circumstances and the information supplied by the instructor, I have decided to grant your appeal.

Your grade in PHIL 318 (F 2020) will appear on your transcript as CR.

I encourage you to consider reaching out to a counsellor if you continue to feel unmanageable anxiety and stress, and do remember that a student can request Academic Consideration if circumstances warrant an extension in course work. Here is a link to information about that process: https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/undergrad-students/academic-consideration-for-students

Best of luck in your current courses.

Sincerely,


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