Dear Mr. Groom:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop MUSC 128B, MUSC 191B, MUSC 221B, MUSC 227B and MUSC 255B (W 2014) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. This decision will automatically remove the €œRequired to Withdraw for One Year€ ruling from your record, dated May 22, 2014, as it now no longer applies. You currently remain in good academic standing.

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.

I am confident that in the future you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page. These deadlines have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students and to facilitate the timely completion of university studies at Queen's.

Yours sincerely,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
