Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 8939
Decision Date: April 13, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Allen Zha
Student Email: 19lz37@queensu.ca
Course: ECON250
Term: Fall
Year: 2021
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Allen:
I am sorry to read that there were challenges related to the completion of the final exam in ECON 250 (F 2021) and I have carefully considered your appeal to drop that course past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this appeal based on the multiple exam deferrals for this course and the challenges related to that.
Going forward, a good practice for all students is to pause and evaluate their progress in courses during week 7 of each term, and if you have fallen behind or your health is impacting your studies, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop deadline. 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 at Queen's.
Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop 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:

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.
Associate Dean (Studies)
