Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 9830
Decision Date: December 20, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Daniele (Danny) Prive
Student Email: 15dczp@queensu.ca
Course: GEOL543
Term: Fall/Winter
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Daniele:
I was sorry to read of the difficulties you outlined in your petition letter and after carefully considering your request to drop GEOL 543 (FW 2021/22) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined as well as your documentation.
I have granted this petition based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances and since you plan to continue to work with health care professionals to treat your condition. I do need to warn you however that the petition process is not meant to be used to manage a chronic condition. A petition based on the same circumstances may not be granted in the future. I encourage you to continue to work closely with your health care professional and suggest you discuss with them the possibility of registering with QSAS if you will be continuing to register in courses at Queen??s. A QSAS Advisor can put in place accommodations to help you manage the impact of your health on your academics.??
Going forward, I recommend that you pause and evaluate your health during week 7 of each term, and if you have fallen behind or your health is 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.
Congratulations on the completion of your degree with such strong grades throughout.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
