Dear Benjamin Rosebery:

I am sorry to have read in your letter of appeal of the challenges you outlined and I have carefully considered your appeal to drop MATH 210, MATH 281, STAT 269, CISC 221 and CISC 220 (W 2019) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

When you resume your studies Benjamin, I suggest you carefully evaluate your progress in your courses during week 7 of the term and if you have fallen behind or you are not performing in the course to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop date deadline. Let me also advise you of the Academic Consideration service where a student can request short term accommodations if you require leeway with assignment due dates. Here is the link for information about that process:

Your documentation notes that you have been engaged with a team to assist you with your mental health and I strongly encourage you continue to seek support from that source. Again, upon your return to Queen€™s, I suggest you consider registering with QSAS if your challenges continue. QSAS can help put into place appropriate accommodations to help with both your health and academics.

Please note that if you wish to appeal for a tuition refund, you must submit a separate appeal through the Registrar€™s office. Here is a link for that appeal:

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 the balance of your courses this term.

Sincerely,


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