Dear Brent Leung:

I have reviewed your appeal request for Credit Standing in BCHM 218, CHEM 281 (Fall 2018), ECON 222, PHGY 216, and PSYC 236 (Winter 2019). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your grades in these classes will appear on your transcript as CR.

I would also like to offer you Credit Standing in STAT 263 (Fall 2018) as this course also falls within the impacted timeline of your extenuating circumstances. If you would like to accept this offer, please email the Appeals Team at asc.appeals@queensu.ca within 21-days of receiving this decision letter.

I have granted this appeal due to the severity of your extenuating circumstances during the 2018/2019 Academic Year and I want to commend you on your academic success since overcoming these challenges. I see that you have recently completed your program in June and want to congratulate you on this achievement.

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.

Yours sincerely,

Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
