Dear Fraser Moodey:

I have reviewed your request to drop BIOL 212, CISC 221 and CISC 360 (W22) after the academic deadline after reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your appeal.

I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances and I acknowledge that you want to take time away from school to focus on your recovery, but I want to warn you that a future appeal for the same circumstances may not be as successful. I strongly encourage you to consider registering with Queen??s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) upon your return to studies so that you can work with a counsellor to help you manage the impacts of your health on your academics going forward.

Also, as mentioned in your previous appeal decision letter, you should always take the time 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.

Sincerely,

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