Dear Darcey Pearson,

I am sorry to have read in your appeal letter the challenges you experienced during this current Summer term and I have reviewed your appeal to change the grade you received in CHEM 281 (S 2021) to Credit standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructor about the learning outcomes met in this course, I have decided to grant your appeal.

Your grade in this course will appear on your transcript as CR.

Darcey, I do need to warn you that the appeals process is not meant to be used to manage a chronic condition. Instead, students should register with QSAS and work with an accommodation advisor to help manage their academics. You should also pause and evaluate the impact of your health on your studies prior to the drop date deadlines. The deadlines, as they have been outlined in the ??Important 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 at Queen's.

I encourage you to continue to work with your health-care team and wish you success in the upcoming year.

Sincerely,


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