Dear Roger Watts:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop POLS 212, POLS 262, POLS 385 (W22) 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 as confirmed by the documentation that you submitted from your healthcare provider. I suggest that upon your return to your studies, you consider registering with Queen??s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) so that you can work with a Counsellor who can help you manage the impacts 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.

Yours sincerely,

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