Course: CISC 324

Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Juliana Costa:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CISC 324 (W 2022) past the academic deadline and after reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I was glad to see that you had utilized Academic Consideration when you were sick and I acknowledge the fact that you just missed the drop deadline by only a few days. Going forward, I recommend that you pause and evaluate your progress in your courses during week 7 of term, and if you have fallen behind or your health is impacting your studies, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop deadline. The drop 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.

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.

Yours sincerely,

Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
