Your petition has been granted. Your final grade LAW 207, SOCY 210, SOCY 225, SOCY 226 (F20), SOCY 122 (FW20/21), PSYC 241, SOCY 227, SOCY 275 (W21), PSYC 236, SOCY 210, SOCY 226 (F21), SOCY 122 (FW21/22), GNDS 125, PSYC 221, PSYC 236, PSYC 241 (F22), and SOCY 122 (FW22/23) will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript once this has been processed by the Office of the University Registrar.

Going forward, 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.

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.

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.
