Dear Mr. McMaster:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CLST 201 (W 2016) 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. Any further appeals will require documentation from a healthcare professional that properly confirms the timeline and severity of the circumstances as well as the impact that these circumstances had on your academics at the time.

Should you continue to experience difficulties, I would encourage you to schedule an appointment to meet with a counsellor through Student Wellness Services. Appointments can be made by calling their office at 613-533-6000 ext 78264.

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,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
