Decision Letter

Appeal Number: 9698
Decision Date: November 21, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Noah Weinberger
Student Email: 22nw6@queensu.ca

Course: ANAT100
Term: Fall
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Noah:

I am sorry to have read in your petition letter that you are having difficulties in ANAT 100 (F 2022) which is causing your pre-existing medical condition to escalate. Based on that circumstance, I have decided to grant your request to drop that course after the drop deadline.

I have granted this petition based on the??documentation provided which confirms you are working with a health care professional, and I encourage you to continue to do so as needed.

Going forward, you will be responsible for managing the impact of your condition on your academics proactively and not after the fact via the petition process. I suggest that you 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:

Noah, I strongly encourage you continue to work with a health professional and to proactively manage the impact of your condition on your academics. If this is a chronic condition, please talk to your health care professional 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.??

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 the balance of your courses.

Sincerely,


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