Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Appeal Number: 1686
Decision Date: January 5, 2016
Associate Dean: Sue Blake
Student Name: Keith Oben
Student Email: 14kmdo@queensu.ca

Course: GRMN 101
Term: Fall
Year: 2015
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Mr. Oben:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop GRMN 101 (F 2015) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I would like to note that this is a lenient decision but I realize that the transition from studying at the Bader International Study Centre to moving on campus can sometimes be difficult so I have taken that into consideration. Please ensure that you continue to monitor your academic progress carefully and drop any courses as needed within the drop deadlines. The last day to drop a winter term course is Friday, February 26.

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)
