Submission Number: 12527
Decision Date: December 18, 2024
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Liam Silverson
Student Email: 20legs@queensu.ca

Course: ARTH 232
Term: Fall
Year: 2024
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Liam:

I have carefully considered your petition to drop ARTH 232 (F24) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I see that you had academic consideration from October 4 through December 15 and I have granted this request due to the academic impacts of extenuating circumstances as reported within your petition letter. Your grade in this course will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript.

Going forward, it is the student’s responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on their classes before the drop deadline. If they have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, they should drop the course by the deadline. 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.
Associate Dean (Academic)
