Dear Ms. Tobin:
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.
In order to reactivate your student file, you must complete a €œReturn to Studies€ form: http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/sites/default/files/return_to_studies_form_2016_2.pdf and return it to our office as soon as possible. Please ensure you indicate your desired Degree Program and Plan (concentration). Once our office has received departmental approval of your Degree Plan, your file will be reactivated. For information on registration and course selection, please see: www.queensu.ca/artsci and click on €œStudents@Queen€™s€. For information on tuition payment and accessing SOLUS (Queen's on-line student system), please see: www.queensu.ca/registrar or contact the Registrar's office at (613) 533-2040.
I cannot consider your request to graduate with less than 90.0 units (15.0 credits) as the minimum requirements to graduate outlined in the academic regulations in the Faculty of Arts and Science calendar are not appealable. Despite your two ENGL courses being exclusions of one another, you are still lacking GNDS 215 for your BA General Degree in Gender Studies. This course is available to take on-line (see www.queensu.ca/cds for details). You will also need to take one 3.0 unit elective course to complete your degree requirements, which you may also take as an online course.
A cumulative GPA of 1.60 is required to graduate with a three-year General degree. I would draw your attention to the full academic regulations, particularly 13 (Academic Standing) and 16 (Requirements to Graduate) in the Arts and Science Academic Calendar: http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/students-at-queens/academic-calendar I would also refer you the GPA calculator tool on the Arts and Science website http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/students-at-queens/gpa-calculators You current GPA is 1.65.
In 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 Program. 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
