Decision Date: December 22, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Lauren Oswald
Student Email: 19lmo6@queensu.ca
Course: POLS313
Term: Fall
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Lauren:
I am sorry to have read in your petition letter that you have struggled with your health and medications this term and I have carefully considered your request to drop POLS 313 (F 2022) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this petition based on the??documentation provided as well as your current engagement with your physician and counsellors who are working with you to create a plan to manage your challenges in the upcoming term.
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 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.
Best of luck in the balance of your courses.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
