Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Appeal Number: 1610
Decision Date: December 9, 2015
Associate Dean: Sue Blake
Student Name: Christopher Houston
Student Email: 11ch52@queensu.ca

Course: CISC P81
Term: Fall
Year: 2015
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Mr. Houston:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CISC P81 (F 2015) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I would strongly recommend that you consult with the Accessibility Services office to confirm your academic accommodations and ensure that they are correct and up to date. I would also recommend that you attempt no more than two courses per term until your ongoing medical challenges have been resolved or effectively treated. Lastly, I would recommend that you seek some academic advising through the Faculty Office. Your transcript shows that you are registered as a Bachelor of Arts student in an Economics Plan, yet your course selection appears to be quite random. Appointments with an academic advisor can be made by calling (613) 533-2470.

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.

I am confident that in the future you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page. These deadlines have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students and to facilitate the timely completion of university studies at Queen's.

Yours sincerely,

Sue Blake
Assistant Dean (Studies)
