Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 9156
Decision Date: June 2, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Elise Van Manen
Student Email: 21ehvm@queensu.ca
Course: PHYS 117
Term: Fall/Winter
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Elise:
I am sorry to have read in your letter of appeal that you had a difficult term and I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PHYS 117 (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 your commitment to speak to a counsellor about your mental health. Let me direct you to our Student Wellness Services who offer free counselling to Queen??s students. Here is a link to their website: https://www.queensu.ca/studentwellness/
Going forward, you will be responsible for managing the impact of your circumstances on your academics 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.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
