Your petition has been granted. Your final grade in HLTH 271 (F25) will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript once this has been processed by the Office of the University Registrar.

I would suggest that you connect with Student Wellness Services, located in Mitchell Hall, for personal support. Information about their services can be found at queensu.ca/studentwellness/.

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). To chat with an Academic Advisor about an academic plan moving forward, information (including the Zoom link) can be found at https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/undergrad-students/student-services/academic-advising.

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.

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.
