Associate Dean: Sue Blake
Student Name: Crystal Smith
Student Email: 16cls3@queensu.ca

Course: WRIT 175
Term: Winter
Year: 2017
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline



Dear Ms. Smith:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop WRIT 125 (W 2017) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I would like to note that this is a lenient decision as there is no current medical documentation supplied to substantiate the severity and impact of your illness on your studies this term. Any future appeals based on medical circumstances must supply documentation that confirms this information.

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,



Sue Blake
Assistant Dean (Studies)
