Dear Aidan,

I have reviewed your request to drop ECON 212, ECON 222, STAT 263 (F22), EMPR 270, GPHY 102, LLCU 244 (W23) past the academic deadline and for Credit Standing in ENSC 230 (W23). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your grades in ECON 212, ECON 222, STAT 263 (F22), EMPR 270, GPHY 102, LLCU 244 (W23) will be replaced by a DR notation on your transcript and your grade in ENSC 230 (W23) will be replaced with a CR notation on your transcript.

I have granted this request as the documentation that you supplied confirms the timeline and academic impacts of your extenuating circumstances and attests to an unaccommodated disability. Going forward, it is the student’s responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on their classes during week 7 of the term. If they have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, they 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.

I also suggest that you consider registering with Queen’s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) if you have not done so already, so that you obtain ongoing support from a Counsellor who can help manage the ongoing impacts of your health on your academics.

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)
