Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 8999
Decision Date: April 22, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Jacqui Leonard
Student Email: 20jlll@queensu.ca
Course: CISC
Term: Winter
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Jacqui:
I was sorry to read of the health issue you outlined in your letter of appeal and after carefully considering your request to drop CISC 101 (W 2022) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined as well as your documentation.
I encourage you to continue to work closely with your health care team in the future to help you manage both your health and academics.??
Going forward, a good practice for all students is to pause and evaluate your progress in your 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.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
