Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 8580
Decision Date: January 31, 2022
Associate Dean: Amitava Chowdhury, Ph.D.
Student Name: Alinah Charania
Student Email: 18asc6@queensu.ca
Course: POLS 384
Term: Fall
Year: 2021
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Alinah:
I am sorry to have read in your letter of appeal that you had a difficult Fall 2021 term and I have carefully considered your appeal to drop POLS 384 (F 2021) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this appeal based on??your documentation which notes that you are making strides and consulting health care professionals. I was also pleased to see that you note in your letter of appeal that you will continue to work with your health professional to manage your health. Going forward, I encourage you to carefully evaluate your progress in each of your courses prior to the week 8 drop deadline and if you have fallen behind or you are not performing in the course to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the drop date. Please do not wait until you receive your grades and then request a drop for those that are failures.
Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop date deadline is our Academic Consideration protocol. A student can request short term consideration if they need more time to complete an assignment or had to miss a class due to documented extenuating circumstances. Here is the link for information about that process:

Alinah, I strongly encourage you continue to proactively manage the impact of your condition on your academics and if your condition continues to impact your studies, please talk to your health professional about the possibility of registering with QSAS. A QSAS??Advisor??can help put into place appropriate accommodations to help you manage the impact of your health on your academics.??
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.
Best of luck in your courses.
Sincerely,
Amitava Chowdhury, Ph.D.
