Decision Letter
Submission Number: 13171
Decision Date: November 5, 2025
Associate Dean: Dorit Naaman (Associate Dean Academic)
Student Name: Matthew Pesce
Student Email: 21mdp16@queensu.ca
Course: PHGY 350
Term: Winter
Year: 2025
Category: Request credit (CR) standing in a course or courses
Instructor: Dr. Nicolle Domnik
Your petition has been granted. I have granted this request due to the timeline of extenuating circumstances as confirmed within the documentation you supplied and in recognition of how the PSAC Local 901 strike and labor disruption affected this course during the 2025 Winter term.
Your final grade in PHGY 350 (W25) will be replaced with a CR notation on your transcript once this has been processed by the Office of the University Registrar.
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.
Going forward, I encourage you to take advantage of the various academic supports that are available at Queen’s University, such as meeting with an Academic Advisor to discuss degree progress and your academic goals as well as the resources offered by the Student Academic Success Services (SASS). While I hope that you never again encounter circumstances like the PSAC Local 901 strike during your studies, even in normal times it’s good practice to familiarize yourself with the services offered by the University to help students succeed.
