Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 2396
Decision Date: July 7, 2016
Associate Dean: Sue Blake
Student Name: Simon Bussiere

Dear Mr. Bussiere:
I have carefully considered your appeal to waive the Faculty ruling that you be Required to Withdraw for a Minimum of Three Years. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. You may now resume your studies at Queen's University.
Please read carefully the attached document. It contains important information concerning your current academic standing. If you have any questions about the information, please contact the Faculty Office to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor.
It appears that you only need a further 18.0 units of courses left to complete the requirements for your Bachelor of Arts General degree in Economics. However, your current GPA is at 0.96 and your ECON Plan GPA is at 1.308. Both GPAs will need to be at least 1.60 to be eligible to graduate. Therefore, you will likely need to repeat some courses that you failed or received low grades in, particularly the courses that are being used to meet your Plan requirements (to raise both your Plan GPA and cumulative GPA). I would suggest that you contact the Faculty Office at 613-533-2470 for some advice on course selection and what particular grades you will need to achieve to graduate.
Upon returning to a regular course of study it is your responsibility to choose courses carefully, seek out the advice necessary to improve your academic performance, and maintain a GPA consistent with the requirements for successful completion of your plan. I hope that you will take advantage of the variety of support services available to you at Queen's. Academic counselling is available through an advisor in the Faculty of Arts and Science Student Services Office (main floor Dunning Hall, phone 533-2470) or through your plan department. The Learning Commons in Stauffer Library also provides a range of services, including workshops designed to improve study skills and develop strategies for meeting the demands of academic life. Further, the Health, Counselling and Disabilities Centre located in the LaSalle Building at 146 Stuart Street (613-533-2506) offers personal and academic counselling free of charge to all Queen's students, as well as individual consultation to aid in coping with difficulties of a more personal nature.
If you have any questions about this decision, please feel free to contact the Faculty Office for advice or assistance. I wish you success in your future studies.
Yours sincerely,
Sue Blake
Assistant Dean (Studies)
