Petition Letter
Dear University Appeal Committee,
I am writing to formally appeal the Requirement to Withdraw from Queen’s University for one year, effective May 1, 2025. I believe this decision does not reflect my current academic standing, and I respectfully ask the university to reconsider.
I have a valid basis to appeal the Requirement to Withdraw. In a letter dated May 24, 2024, from Associate Dean Jenn Stephenson, the original conditions of my academic probation stated:“You will remain on probation until you have completed at least another 18.0 units, at which time another assessment will take place.” As of the Fall 2024 and Winter 2025 terms, I have completed only 15.0 units. I have 6.0 units marked as incomplete (IN), without a letter grade, from the Winter 2025 term. Therefore, I have not yet reached the 18.0-unit threshold required for a reassessment of my academic standing.
In accordance with Policy 13.4.1 – Criteria for RTW1, I respectfully request to be placed on “Continuing on Probation” until I have completed my remaining 6.0 units and have received a final letter grade for both courses.
I kindly ask that you take these circumstances into consideration and grant my request to remain enrolled. I deeply value my place at Queen’s University and am fully committed to continuing my education without interruption.
Thank you for your time and understanding. I welcome the opportunity to meet and discuss this matter further.
Sincerely,
Hailey Craven
