Dear Irene:

I have carefully considered your petition for Credit Standing in CHEM 112, MATH 121 (FW21/22), MICR 271, PHGY 215, MUSC 171, BCHM 218, CHEM 281 (F22) and PHGY 216 (W23). After reviewing your file and the information that I received from your instructors, I have decided to grant your petition.

Your grades in these courses will be replaced with a CR notation on your transcript.

I have granted this request as the documentation that you supplied suggests that you were not properly accommodated through Queen’s Student Accessibility Services until June of 2023.

Irene, I need to warn you that the petitions process is not meant to be used to manage the impacts of a chronic circumstance and that future petition requests may not be as successful. Going forward, it is your responsibility to remain connected with your QSAS counsellor so that you can obtain ongoing support to help manage the impacts of your health during exams.

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.
Associate Dean (Academic)
