Dear Ms. Duffin:

I have reviewed your appeal to change the grades you received in PSYC 271 (F 2015) and PSYC 215 (W 2016) to Credit standing. After careful consideration, I have decided to grant your appeal. Your grades in these courses will appear on your transcript as CR.

I would like to note that this appeal was granted on the basis of your medical condition which no doubt affected your academic performance. Your involvement in extracurricular activities however, is within your personal control and therefore, was not a factor in my decision.

Please ensure that you register with Queen€™s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) to receive ongoing academic accommodation and watch the drop deadlines carefully if you feel that your workload is too heavy.

Sincerely,

Sue Blake
Assistant Dean (Studies)
