Appeal Number: 8746
Decision Date: March 18, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Reese Bambridge
Student Email: 19remb@queensu.ca

Course: ENGL 290
Term: Fall
Year: 2021
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Reese Bambridge:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ENGL 290 (F21) past the academic deadline and after reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal due to the timeline and severity of your extenuating circumstances and I acknowledge your reasons for not being able to successfully complete the course during the current term along with your other enrolled classes. Although your injury occurred after the drop deadline of the 2021 Fall term, I want to still remind you of the importance of evaluating your progress in your courses during week 7 of each term. If you have fallen behind in a course 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)
