Dear Ms. Bao:
I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CISC 220 (F 2014) past the academic deadline and receive Credit standing in CISC 204 and CISC 223 (W 2015). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
Given the circumstances described in your appeal letter, I would strongly recommend that you seek some counselling from home or upon your return to studies through Health, Counselling and Disability Services. I would also suggest that you consider taking a lighter course load of 3 courses per term. It appears that you have consistently struggled with your academics since you started at Queen€™s and your GPA is very low. A lighter course load can help to allow you the time you need to better manage your ongoing personal challenges as well as more time to focus on each of your courses and ensure that you can stay caught up in the course material.
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.
I am confident that in the future you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page. These deadlines have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students and to facilitate the timely completion of university studies at Queen's.
Yours sincerely,
Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
