Dear Madeleine:
I was sorry to read of the difficulties you outlined in your petition letter and after carefully considering your request to drop WRIT 120 and FILM 240 (W 2022) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined as well as your documentation.
I have granted this petition based on your extenuating circumstances and since you are working with a health care provider and QSAS to help you manage your challenges. I do need to warn you however that the petition process is not meant to be used to manage a chronic condition. A petition based on the same circumstances may not be granted in the future.
Going forward, I recommend that you 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. 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.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
