Dear Ms. MacNaught:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ECON 240 (W 2016) past the academic deadline; receive Credit standing in ECON 231 (F 2015), ENGL 360 (W 2016) and ECON 243 (W 2016); receive Aegrotat standing in ENGL 311 (W 2016); and an Extension of an Incomplete in ENGL 347 (W 2016). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your final grade in ENGL 311 will appear on your transcript as C+ along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.

Please be advised that you are permitted up to the final day of the 2017 Winter term exam period to complete the requirements of ENGL 347 and it is your responsibility to contact the instructor to make the appropriate arrangements.

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.
