Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 8808
Decision Date: March 28, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Marissa de Boer
Student Email: 15madb@queensu.ca
Course: PSYC 337
Term: Fall
Year: 2021
Category: Request credit (CR) standing in a course or courses
Instructor: Dr. Luis Flores
Dear Marissa de Boer:
I have carefully considered your appeal to request Credit Standing in PSYC 337 (F21) and after reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. Your grade in this course will be replaced with a ?CR?? Notation on your transcript.
I acknowledge the challenges that you experienced during the 2021 Fall term in balancing your academic responsibilities along with working as a Don and I want to warn you that work related, competing commitments are not typically grounds for an appeal. I acknowledge that you were granted permission from your instructor to complete this course during the 2022 Winter term and have granted this appeal due to the timeline and severity of the extenuating circumstances that impacted you in January as confirmed by the documentation that you supplied.
Going forward, you should pause to evaluate the impact of your health on your studies before the Academic Deadline of each term. If you have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, you should drop the course at that time. 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.
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)
