Decision Letter

Submission Number: 10209
Decision Date: March 28, 2023
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Sam Firlotte
Student Email: 20skf2@queensu.ca

Course: BADR 101
Term: Winter
Year: 2023
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Sam Firlotte:

I have carefully considered your petition to drop BADR 101 (W23) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, 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withdrawn?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 granted this request due to the timeline and academic impacts of your extenuating circumstances as confirmed by the documentation that you supplied. Going forward, it is your responsibility to assess your progress in your courses by week 7 of the term. If you have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, you should drop the course by week 8 of term. 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 fair and equitable treatment of all students.

I would also suggest that you consider registering for Queen??s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) if you haven??t done so already so that you can obtain ongoing support from a Counsellor who can help you manage the impacts of your health on your academics.

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.

Yours sincerely,

Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
