Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 8874
Decision Date: March 28, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Olivia Selkirk
Student Email: 18oas@queensu.ca
Course: ASTR 101
Term: Fall
Year: 2021
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Olivia:
I am sorry to have read in your letter of appeal that you had a difficult Fall term and I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ASTR 101 (F 2021) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
Olivia, I am also willing to grant you Credit standing in PSYC 351 (F 2021). Receiving credit in a course would change the current D+ grade to a CR on your transcript. You would receive credit for PSYC 351 but your GPA would not be impacted by the D+ grade. If you wish to accept this offer, please email asc.appeals@queensu.ca within 21 days and your grade will be adjusted on your transcript.
I have granted this appeal based on??documentation provided which notes that your health has improved since you have begun a new treatment plan. Going forward, you will be responsible for managing the impact of your condition on your academic proactively and not after the fact via the appeal process. 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 courses to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the drop deadline.
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:

Olivia, I strongly encourage you continue to work with a health professional and to proactively manage the impact of your condition on your academics. If this is a chronic condition, please talk to your health care 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.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
