Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 9041
Decision Date: May 2, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Ansu Karki
Student Email: 19ak24@queensu.ca
Course: BCHM 310
Term: Fall/Winter
Year: 2021
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Ansu:
I am sorry to have read in your letter of appeal the challenges you have outlined and I have carefully considered your appeal to drop BCHM 310 (FW 2021/22) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this appeal based on??the documentation provided which notes that you sought out counselling and I encourage you to follow through with your plan and continue to do so. If this is a chronic condition, please talk to your counsellor about the possibility of registering with QSAS. A QSAS??Advisor??can help put into place appropriate accommodations to help you manage the impact of your health on your academics.??
Going forward, you will be responsible for managing the impact of your condition on your academic proactively and not after the fact via the appeal process. I encourage you to carefully evaluate your progress in each of your courses prior to the week 8 drop deadline and if you have fallen behind or you are not performing in courses to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the drop deadline.
Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop date 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.
Best of luck in your courses.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
