Dear Ms. Bowie:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ITLN 112 (W 2016) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Please note that this is a lenient decision as the documentation supplied does not indicate the severity of your condition or its impact on this course in particular. Any further appeals will require documentation which include this information.

I would recommend that you consider scheduling an appointment to meet with a counsellor though the Student Wellness Services Centre and/or a Learning Strategist in the Learning Commons (main floor, Stauffer Library) to help you develop strategies to manage your test anxiety.

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)
