Appeal Number: 8834
Decision Date: April 11, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Hoang Nguyen
Student Email: 20hen@queensu.ca

Course: PHIL 256
Term: Winter
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Hoang Nguyen:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PHIL 256 (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 information that you presented within your appeal letter and that you only missed the drop deadline by a few days. I want you to know Hoang, that this was a lenient decision as you didn??t supply documentation to support your request. Going forward I suggest that you consider registering with Queen??s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) so that you can work with a Counsellor going forward to help you manage the impacts of your health on your academics.

I also suggest that you pause to evaluate your academic progress during week 7 of the term and make sure to drop courses that you have fallen behind in or find the material too difficult in by week 8 of the term. 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)
