Decision Letter
Submission Number: 10313
Decision Date: May 1, 2023
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Baicun Wu
Student Email: 21bw8@queensu.ca
Course: CHEM 112
Term: Fall/Winter
Year: 2023
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Baicun:
I am sorry to read in your petition letter that you have encountered challenges this term and I have carefully considered your request to drop CHEM 112 (FW 2022/23) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your petition, I have decided to grant your request.
You also requested that you be allowed to redo quizzes 3,4 and 6 in GEOL 200. This is not something you can petition for Baicun and normally instructors do not permit students to redo quizzes, tests or exams.
I have exercised some leniency in this decision, acknowledging the challenges you outlined but going forward, I recommend that you pause and evaluate your health and progress in your courses during week 7 of each term. 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.
