Your petition to Waive the Deadline related to the 2024 Winter and 2024 Summer terms has been granted.

I will also allow you to drop DRAM 242, DRAM 306, MUTH 340 (W24), ANAT 100, GNDS 295, MUSC 171 and SPAN 111 (S24) after the academic deadline, without a subsequent petition request. Your grades in these courses will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript.

Going forward, I would suggest that you consider registering with Queen’s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) if you have not done so already, so that you can obtain ongoing support from an Accessibility Advisor who can help manage the ongoing impacts of your health on your academics.

Also, you should know that it is your responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on your coursework prior to the drop deadline of the term. If you fall behind in a course or find the material too difficult, you should drop the course by 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.
