Dear Ms. Aluthgama Hewage:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ARTH 212, ARTH 226, ARTH 253 and ARTH 292 (F 2014) past the academic deadline, as well as waive the Faculty ruling that you be Required to Withdraw for One Year. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. You may now resume your studies at Queen's University.

As a result of this decision, your cumulative GPA will change so your academic record will be reassessed. If this results in any change to your current academic standing, you will be notified.

It is my hope that you will follow through with each of the steps you included in your academic plan over the next year. Please ensure that you seek counselling through Health, Counselling and Disability Services as early into the fall term as possible to ensure that you stay healthy and better prepare you for academic success.

Upon returning to a regular course of study it is your responsibility to choose courses carefully, seek out the advice necessary to improve your academic performance, and maintain a GPA consistent with the requirements for successful completion of your plan. I hope that you will take advantage of the variety of support services available to you at Queen's. Academic counselling is available through an advisor in the Faculty of Arts and Science Student Services Office (main floor Dunning Hall, phone 533-2470) or through your plan department. The Learning Commons in Stauffer Library also provides a range of services, including workshops designed to improve study skills and develop strategies for meeting the demands of academic life. Further, the Health, Counselling and Disabilities Centre located in the LaSalle Building at 146 Stuart Street (613-533-2506) offers personal and academic counselling free of charge to all Queen's students, as well as individual consultation to aid in coping with difficulties of a more personal nature.

If you have any questions about this decision, please feel free to contact the Faculty Office for advice or assistance. I wish you success in your future studies.

Yours sincerely,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
