Dear Ron Vaknin:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ECON 255 and POLS 242 (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 severity of your extenuating circumstances and the impacts that they have had on your academic ability. I also acknowledge your reasons for not being able to successfully complete these courses during the current term along with your other enrolled classes. If you haven??t done so already, I suggest that you consider registering with Queen??s Accessibility Services (QSAS) so that you can work with an Advisor to manage the impact of your health on your academics going forward.

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)
