Decision Letter

Appeal Number: 9650
Decision Date: November 15, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Rohan Singh
Student Email: 20rs72@queensu.ca

Course: CISC 124
Term: Winter
Year: 2022
Category: Request credit (CR) standing in a course or courses
Instructor: Burton Ma


Dear Rohan:

I am sorry to have read in your letter the challenges you experienced during Winter term which impacted the grade earned in CISC 124 (W 2022). After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted, and the input received from the instructor confirming the learning outcomes were achieved in the course, I have decided to grant your petition.

Your grade in this course will appear on your transcript as CR.

Rohan, I do need to warn you that the petition process is not meant to be used to manage a chronic condition. Instead, I encourage you to continue to work with your health care team if there are lingering impacts of your concussion, and to consider registering with QSAS if you have not done so already, and work with an accommodation advisor to help manage your health and academics.

Going forward, you should pause and evaluate the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term. The week 8 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 s 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:

Best of luck in your courses this term.

Sincerely,

Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
