Dear Madison:

I have carefully considered your request to waive the 1-year petition deadline related to the 2022 Fall term. After reviewing your petition letter and the documentation that you supplied, I have decided to grant this request.

You may now proceed with submitting a new petition request related to this term.

Please know that to be eligible for Credit Standing, a student must have completed all components of the course and met the learning outcomes in it. Upon receipt of your new petition request, your instructors will be contacted by the Petitions Office to gather information related to your grades to ensure that you are eligible for what you are asking for.

Your new petition letter should include the timeline of your extenuating circumstances (ie the date range that you were impacted by the situation), and an explanation of how your academic ability in each course was impacted during this timeline.

Your documentation should confirm the timeline and severity of the extenuating circumstances (if it is possible to determine) and how the extenuating circumstances impacted your academic ability during this timeline. Documentation can include but is not limited to a letter from a professional (such as Student Wellness Services and/or Queen’s Student Accessibility Services, an Off-Campus Physician’s Letter https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/sites/faswww/files/form/off-campus-physician-note.pdf (if your healthcare provider is not within the Queen’s community), death certificates, legal documents, etc. If your extenuating circumstances are personal in nature or cannot be documented professionally, we may accept a letter from a family member or friend if they supply their contact information so that it can be verified.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Faculty Office at 613-533-2570 for advice or assistance.

Sincerely,

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