Dear Quianna:

I was saddened to have read of the impact that discrimination and racism in our Queen€™s community and around the world have had on your wellbeing, specifically on your mental health. I can understand how impactful this must have been on your studies during the past academic year especially with the additional responsibilities that you faced in the Winter term related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

I have carefully considered your appeal for Credit Standing in PSYC 241 (Winter 2021) and after reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. Your grade in PSYC 241 (W21) will be replaced on your transcript with a CR notation.

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, to understand the potential implications of changes to course or program registration and/or the consequences of not successfully completing the required course load.

I wish you the best with your continued degree progression,

Yours sincerely,

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