I have carefully considered your request to waive the petition deadline related to the 2024 Fall term and your request to drop MATH 280 and STAT 268 (F25). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your requests.
Your final grades in MATH 280 (F25) and STAT 268 (F25) will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript once this has been processed by the Office of the University Registrar.
You may now access on the on-line petition portal at queensu.ca/artsci/undergraduate/student-services/academic-petitions-and-appeals to submit your new petition under the appropriate category such as, to drop a course after the academic deadline, for courses from the 2024 Fall term.
Your new petition request should include a letter that outlines how each course was affected by extenuating circumstances and why you didn’t drop them by the academic deadline.
In addition to confirming the timeline of the circumstance, it is important that your documentation also outlines the academic impacts during the terms that you are petitioning. Documentation can include but is not limited to a letter from a professional such as Student Wellness Services (SWS), an off-campus physician’s letter (if your healthcare provider is not within the Queen’s community), a death certificate, or legal documents if relevant. If your extenuating circumstances are personal in nature or cannot be documented professionally, we may accept a letter from a family member or friend as long as they supply their contact information so that it can be verified.
If you have any questions about your subsequent petition request, please meet with an Academic Advisor for support.
