Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 9892
Decision Date: January 5, 2023
Associate Dean: Anna Taylor, Deputy Academic Director, BISC
Student Name: joshua fischtein
Student Email: joshua.fischtein@queensu.ca
Course: astr 101
Term: Fall
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Joshua:
I am sorry to read in your petition letter that you encountered challenges related to ASTR 101 (F 2022) and I have carefully considered your request to drop that course past the academic deadline. After reviewing your petition, I have decided to grant your request.
I have exercised some leniency in this decision, acknowledging the challenges you outlined related to the delay in receiving feedback on your assignments, and since you are a first-year student.
Going forward, I recommend that you continue to be mindful of the drop deadline and to pause and evaluate your progress in your courses during week 7 of each term. If you have fallen behind or circumstances are 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.
Best of luck in your courses this term.
Yours sincerely,
Anna Taylor, Ph.D.
