Re: Appeal to Waive 21 day timeline dated May 24, 2022- Student Number: 20284613
Dear Sirs:
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am appealing to waive the 21 day timeline issued on my SOLUS account dated May 24, 2022. I am doing so in order that I may subsequently appeal to waive a requirement to withdraw from Queen??s University for one year.
Reluctantly due to illness, I was unable to respond to the appeal within the 21 day timeline as I became unwell on May 26, 2022 where I was bedridden due to debilitating symptoms.
These symptoms lasted until early July 2022.
Upon calling my Family Doctor for medical support, they advised that I should not attend the office with the severe symptoms,. As these reoccurring symptoms rendered me from lucid thinking and functioning, I sincerely apologize I was unable to respond to appeal to the 21 day suspension in SOLUS until mid July; where at that time, I realized that my response was due by June 14th. From mid July until today, I awaited my Physician??s letter, which I have respectfully attached for your review and consideration and look forward to your decision in this regard..
Sincerely,
Aaron Chapman

Re: Appeal to Withdraw from Queen's University
Dear Dr. Jennifer Stephenson:
Due to a psychological challenge, I am appealing the right to withdraw from Queen's University beginning Fall Semester 2022.
This appeal request encompasses Fall Semester 2021 and Winter Semester 2022. During this time, I attended on Campus as an in-resident Arts and Science Student.
Given that my immediate family members are immune compromised, attending on Campus classes, during the height of the Covid Pandemic, proved to be a source of much anxiety as I did not want to expose them to the virus during home visits.
Although I fully attended in class sessions during this time, I felt disconnected and this seemed to cause a lack of study focus where I struggled with feelings of loneliness, frustration and vulnerability??socially and physically. I believe that these feelings affected my ability to properly focus on my assignments, tests and exams and contributed to an inability to develop new on campus friendships.
As life appears to return to normal, ie. 3rd boosters and a decrease in Covid cases, I am feeling more confident in returning to Queen??s Campus with a sense of renewed optimism.
I have discussed these issues with my Family Physician and am providing the attached Physician??s letter which includes an Academic Plan of action to help improve my anxiety level:
Continue to receive on-going Counseling as necessary, while reaching out to the on Campus Student Academic Success office??SASS and/ or Teaching Assistant for time request inquiry.
Work with a personal Tutor to propose improved writing/research methodologies.
Consider whether a reduced course load and supplementing additional courses during Summer Semester.
Thank you for taking the time to consider the above noted; I greatly look forward to returning to on campus studies, at Queen??s University, in the immediate future.
Sincerely,
Aaron Chapman

Re: Appeal to Request a DR Standing in applicable courses, from Queen's University
Dear Dr. Jennifer Stephenson:
Due to a psychological challenge, I am appealing to request a DR Standing from Queen's University for courses in which I received less than a D-.
This appeal request encompasses Fall Semester 2021 and Winter Semester 2022. During this time, I attended on Campus as an in-resident Arts and Science Student.
Given that my immediate family members are immune compromised, attending on Campus classes, during the height of the Covid Pandemic, proved to be a source of much anxiety as I did not want to expose them to the virus during home visits.

I believe that these feelings affected my ability to properly focus on my assignments, tests and exams and contributed to an inability to develop new on campus friendships and this anxiety affected my marks significantly.
As life appears to return to normal, ie. 3rd boosters and a decrease in Covid cases, I am feeling more confident in returning to Queen??s Campus with a sense of renewed optimism.
I have discussed these issues with my Family Physician and am providing the attached Physician??s letter which includes an Academic Plan of action to help improve my anxiety level:
