Decision Letter
Submission Number: 11059
Decision Date: November 2, 2023
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Sarah Spencer
Student Email: 20sns@queensu.ca
Course: ARTH 308
Term: Fall
Year: 2023
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Sarah:
I am sorry to have read in your petition letter that you are struggling with your health and course load this term, and I have carefully considered your request to drop ARTH 308 (F 2023) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this petition based on your circumstances and since you missed the academic drop deadline by only one day but going forward, you will be responsible for managing the impact of your challenges 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 during 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, outlined in the “Important Dates” section on the Faculty of Arts and Science web page, have been established to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all students.
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:

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