Decision Letter
Submission Number: 10201
Decision Date: March 27, 2023
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Ruixin Jin
Student Email: 22rj4@queensu.ca
Course: ASTR101
Term: Winter
Year: 2023
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Ruixin Jin:
I am sorry to read in your petition letter that you have encountered challenges related to ASTR 101 (W 2023) 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.
For your information, our office will process the late drop in your SOLUS account and no further action from you is required. Once dropped, the course will appear as ??withdrawn? in your schedule and a ??DR? notation will be placed on your transcript once the Winter term grades are released in May.
I have exercised some leniency in this decision, acknowledging the challenges you outlined and since you are a first-year student and have connected with Student Wellness Services. I encourage you to continue to work with your health care team who can offer you support as you manage your health.
Going forward, I recommend that you pause and evaluate your health and progress in your courses 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.
Best of luck in the balance of your courses this term.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
