Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 9063
Decision Date: May 10, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Leah Adaniel
Student Email: 12lja1@queensu.ca
Course: ENGL 200
Term: Fall/Winter
Year: 2021
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Course: WRIT 225
Term: Winter
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Leah:
I was sorry to read of the extenuating circumstances you outlined in your letter of appeal and after carefully considering your request to drop ENGL 200 (FW 2021/22) and WRIT 225 (W 2022) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined as well as your documentation.
Leah, this is a somewhat lenient decision since your documentation indicates an impairment starting on January 1, 2022, which is an indicator that you were struggling with your health at that time. I would suggest that going forward, you pause and evaluate your progress in your courses during week 7 of each term and if you have fallen behind or your challenges are 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.
