Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: James wilgar

Term: Fall

Instructor: Wayne Cox
Dear Thatcher:
I have carefully considered your petition for Credit Standing in POLS 261 (F23). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
Your grade in this course will be replaced with a CR notation on your transcript.
I have granted this request as I acknowledge that you were not accommodated for the final exam in this course. I want to let you know that the petition process is not meant to be used to manage a chronic condition and that future petitions for these same circumstances may not be as successful. Academic impacts from ongoing circumstances should be managed proactively by utilizing options such as academic consideration or accommodations through Queen’s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS). I see that you have recently submitted an application to QSAS and I suggest that you remain connected with them once you become registered for help managing the ongoing impacts of your health on your academics.
Please know that 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.
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.
