Your petition to Waive the Deadline related to the 2024 Winter, 2024 Summer and 2024 Fall terms and to drop POLS 447, POLS 453, POLS 462, RELS 347, RELS 356 (W25), COGS 100, COMM 201, POLS 499 (S25), LAW 201 and LAW 203 (F25) has been granted.

I will also allow you to drop POLS 380, POLS 396, RELS 340 (W24), FILM 260, RELS 131 (S24), and RELS 205 (F24) after the academic deadline without a subsequent petition request. Your final grades in these courses will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript once this has been processed by the Office of the University Registrar.

Going forward, I encourage you to meet 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.
