Dear Isaac:

I have carefully considered your petition to drop PHYS 115 (F23) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your grade in this course will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript.

I acknowledge that you have met with an Academic Advisor and have created an academic plan to complete your final degree requirements during the upcoming Summer term. I have granted this request due to the timeline and severity of your extenuating circumstances as confirmed by the documentation that you supplied. I want you to know that it is never suggested for a student to write an exam while unwell. Academic Consideration is a process for the university community to provide a compassionate response to assist students experiencing a short-term extenuating circumstance. You can familiarize yourself with your consideration options at: https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/accommodations.

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.

Yours sincerely,

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