Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 7607
Decision Date: May 6, 2021
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Ekim Karabey
Student Email: 18ebk@queensu.ca
Course: ENIN240
Term: Fall
Year: 2020
Category: Request aegrotat (AG) standing in a course or courses
Instructor: Amy Bello
Dear Ekim Karabey:
I am sorry to have read that you did not submit the required end of term survey in ENIN 240 (F 2020) and I have carefully considered your appeal to receive Aegrotat Standing in that course. After reviewing your file I have decided to deny your request.
Academic Regulation 10.3.1. states that, Aegrotat estimated standing in a course is reserved for situations in which a student, who has completed and passed at least 60 of the work for a course, but because of illness or other extenuating circumstances beyond his or her control, is unable to complete all the work of the course (see Academic Regulation 6)€. Aegrotat standing is only granted in cases where there are well documented and unforeseen extenuating circumstances outside of a student€™s control and the learning outcomes of the course have been satisfied. The integrity of Arts and Science transcripts in general would be greatly diminished if the Faculty were to effect changes to students€™ records without clear and compelling documentation indicating that the student€™s performance was significantly compromised by circumstances beyond his or her control.
The documentation you have submitted does confirm that family members were ill but does not speak to why you were unable to submit this assignment. In addition, the instructor does not support Aegrotat Standing in this course as the end of term survey ensures that the learning outcomes have been met.
Going forward, I suggest that you carefully evaluate your progress in courses during week 7 of the term and if you are struggling in your courses or if your health is suffering, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop deadline.
If you wish to appeal the Associate Dean€™s decision to the Board of Studies, information and deadlines can be found at www.queensu.ca/artsci/students-at-queens/academic-appeals (click on €œBoard of Studies€). Do not use the on-line application for this process. You may contact the Office of the University Ombudsperson for information about student rights and responsibilities as well as guidance on policy and procedure (www.queensu.ca/ombuds).
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
