Your final grade in ASTR 101 (W25) will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript. 

Going forward, it is your responsibility to discuss accommodations with each instructor at the beginning of the term and to contact your Queen’s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) Advisor if appropriate accommodations are not put into place.

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.
