Decision Letter
Submission Number: 13810
Decision Date: January 20, 2026
Associate Dean: Dorit Naaman (Associate Dean Academic)
Student Name: Benjamin Othen
Student Email: 22brro@queensu.ca
Your petition to Waive the Deadline related to the 2022 Fall, 2023 Winter, and 2023 Summer terms and to drop ECON 112 (F24) and ECON 111 (W25) after the academic deadline has been granted.
I will also allow you Credit Standing in BIOL 102, CISC 101 (F22), and MATH 121 (FW22/23) and to drop CHEM 112 (FW22/23), BIOL 103, CISC 121, CISC 151 (W23), and CISC 102 (S23) after the academic deadline, without a subsequent petition request. Your final grades in these courses will be replaced with a CR or DR notation on your transcript once this has been processed by the Office of the University Registrar.
Going forward, I want to remind you that it is your responsibility to ensure that your registration with Queen’s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) is active each term so that you can receive appropriate accommodations in your classes. Before you return to studies, I would suggest that you meet with your QSAS Advisor who can help ensure that appropriate accommodations are in place.
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.
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.
