Decision Letter
Submission Number: 10310
Decision Date: April 19, 2023
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Ella Portsmouth
Student Email: 22ejp@queensu.ca
Course: MUTH 111
Term: Winter
Year: 2023
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Ella:
I am sorry to have read in your petition letter the extenuating circumstances you outlined, and I have carefully considered your request to drop MUTH 111 (W 2023) 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withdrawn?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 petition based on the??circumstances outlined as well as your documentation. Going forward however, you will be responsible for managing the impact of your condition on your academics proactively and not after the fact via the petition process. I encourage you to carefully evaluate your progress in each of your courses prior to the week 8 drop deadline and if you have fallen behind or you are not performing in courses to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the drop deadline.
Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop date 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:

Ella, I strongly encourage you continue to work with a health professional and to proactively manage the impact of your condition on your academics. If you have not yet registered with QSAS, I encourage you to discuss this option with your health professional since a QSAS??Advisor??can help put into place appropriate accommodations to help you manage the impact of your challenges 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.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
