Dear Meghan Bouvier:

I have carefully considered your request to waive the 21-Day Deadline related to the Requirement to Withdraw for Three Years Faculty ruling that you received. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. You may now proceed with your planned appeal request to Waive the Requirement to Withdraw for Three Years and to drop courses after the academic deadline.

Please submit this new appeal on our website at https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/undergrad-students/academic-appeals. Within your appeal, you should include a letter that explain the reasons for your request. It is important that your letter explains both the timeline of your extenuating circumstances and how your classes were impacted. Your supporting documentation does not need to outline the specifics of the particular condition or matter affecting you but should confirm the timeline of your extenuating circumstances and indicate the ways in which the extenuating circumstances directly affected your academic performance in the classes that you are appealing to drop.

Also, you will be required to create a plan for returning to your studies if your appeal is successful. Things to consider when preparing an academic plan are reducing your course load, repeating courses, utilizing academic resources on campus, meeting with a personal counsellor, etc. Please see https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/sites/default/files/preparing_an_academic_plan.pdf for things to consider when preparing an academic plan.

If you would like to book an appointment with an Academic Advisor, please call 613-533-2470 during office hours. Appointments are booked on a first come, first served basis.

Sincerely,

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