Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 7572
Decision Date: April 23, 2021
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Isabel Reid
Student Email: isabel.reid@queensu.ca
Course: ENGL 487
Term: Winter
Year: 2021
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Isabel Reid:
I was sorry to read that your medical condition which has worsened this term. After carefully considering your appeal to drop ENGL 487 (W 2021) 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 but 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.
I encourage you to continue your treatment plan and, as I suggested in a previous grant letter dated January 28, 2021, you should discuss with your doctor the possibility of registering with QSAS . An accommodation advisor can help you manage both your health and your academics. This could include taking a lighter course load and would include evaluating 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 and to facilitate the timely completion of university studies 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.
Do take care over the summer while you take a break from your studies.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
