Decision Letter
Submission Number: 10194
Decision Date: March 23, 2023
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Julia Opryszczko
Student Email: 20jo13@queensu.ca
Course: ANAT 315
Term: Fall
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Julia:
I was sorry to read of the difficulties you outlined in your petition letter and after carefully considering your request to drop ANAT 315 (F 2022) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined as well as your documentation.
Going forward, a good practice for all students is to 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, which I see you are familiar with. As you know, 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,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
