Decision Letter
Submission Number: 12098
Decision Date: August 7, 2024
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Cedric Smith
Student Email: 22css1@queensu.ca
Course: STAT 263
Term: Fall
Year: 2023
Category: Request credit (CR) standing in a course or courses
Instructor: Charles Molson
Dear Cedric Smith:
I have carefully considered your petition for Credit Standing in STAT 263 (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 due to the timeline of extenuating circumstances as confirmed by the documentation that you supplied.
I want to take this time to remind you that it is never suggested that a student 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.
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, as they have been outlined in the “Important Dates” section on the Arts and Science web page, have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science 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.
Associate Dean (Academic)
