Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 8663
Decision Date: February 14, 2022
Associate Dean: Amitava Chowdhury, Ph.D.
Student Name: Jack Reid
Student Email: 21jldr@queensu.ca
Course: CISC 101
Term: Fall
Year: 2021
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Jack:
I am sorry to read in your letter of appeal that you encountered challenges during the Fall term somewhat related to adjusting to university life and the increased responsibility that placed on you. I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CISC 101 (F 2021) past the academic deadline and after reviewing your appeal, I have decided to grant your request.
I have exercised some leniency in this decision, acknowledging the challenges you have been facing. Going forward you will be responsible for managing the impact of your challenges on your academics proactively and not after the fact via the appeal process. You should pause during week 7 of term and carefully evaluate whether you have been keeping up with your courses and achieving the grades you desire. If not, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop deadline and not after the fact via the appeal process. I encourage you to take advantage of the various services available to you Jack including Student Wellness Services if you are struggling to manage your health issues as well as SASS who can help you with study skills.
Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop 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:

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 current courses.
Yours sincerely,
Amitava Chowdhury, Ph.D.
