Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline



Dear Ms. Sanita:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ARTH 226, ARTH 250 and ARTH 253 (F 2016) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I noticed that you are registered in a heavy load of 6 courses over the winter term. Please ensure that you monitor your progress very carefully over the winter term and drop any courses as needed, within the drop deadline if you feel that you cannot comfortably manage the work load. The last day to drop a winter term course is Friday, March 3.

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)
