Decision Letter
Submission Number: 13269
Decision Date: June 24, 2025
Associate Dean: Dorit Naaman (Associate Dean Academic)
Student Name: Ella Littlejohn
Student Email: 23fvp1@queensu.ca
Course: CHEM 112
Term: Fall/Winter
Year: 2025
Category: Request credit (CR) standing in a course or courses
Instructor: Hugh Horton
Dear Ella Littlejohn:
I have carefully considered your petition for Credit Standing in CHEM 112 (FW24/25). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this request due to the timeline and academic impacts of extenuating circumstances as reported within your petition letter. Your grade in this course will be replaced with a CR notation on your transcript.
Going forward, 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.
Also, it is the student’s responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on their classes before the drop deadline of the term. 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, 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,
Dorit Naaman
