Decision Letter
Submission Number: 11074
Decision Date: November 10, 2023
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Emma Vieira
Student Email: 21emv3@queensu.ca
Course: PHGY 170
Term: Fall
Year: 2023
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Emma:
I am sorry to have read in your petition letter the challenges you outlined, and I have carefully considered your request to drop PHGY 170 (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 the documentation provided but going forward, you will be responsible for managing the impact of your circumstances 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 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:

Emma, you indicated in your petition letter that you would like to take a Leave of Absence for the balance of the year. To do so, please visit the following website where you can submit your withdrawal application. You will also see the Return to Studies document which you will need to submit when you are ready to resume your studies as Queen’s:
Leaving and Returning to Studies | Queen's University Faculty of Arts and Science (queensu.ca)
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.
We look forward to your return.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
