Student Email: 22eib@queensu.ca

Dear Elizabeth:

I have carefully considered your request to waive the petition deadline related to the faculty ruling that you be required to withdraw. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant this request. You may now proceed with submitting a new petition request under the category Waive a Requirement to Withdraw for Three Years.

Your petition letter is an opportunity for you to explain the academic impacts of the extenuating circumstances that you experienced over the past academic year. It is important that your letter outlines the timeline of the circumstance and describes how your classes were directly affected. You may also wish to comment on the current state of the circumstances, including whether they have been resolved or are now being managed in a way that would allow you to be successful in future studies.

In addition, your petition must include an Academic Plan. When preparing your plan for returning to studies, you may wish to consider strategies such as reducing your course load, repeating courses, utilizing academic resources on campus, or meeting with a personal counsellor.

I look forward to reviewing your petition.

Sincerely,

Dorit Naaman, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
