Dear Brendan Reid:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop GNDS 285 and GPHY 352 (W22) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal due to the timeline and severity of your circumstances as confirmed by the documentation that you had supplied. I acknowledge that you were provided with Academic Consideration in these classes on March 8 and that you were unable to return to your studies due to the ongoing impacts of your extenuating circumstances. Going forward, I suggest that you consider registering with Queen??s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) so that you can work with a counsellor to manage the impact of your health on your academics.

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)
