Dear Mr. Jayakaran:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CHEM 112 (FW 2013/14), ECON 222 (F 2015), ECON 112, ECON 280, ECON 351 (W 2016) and ECON 440 (F 2016) past the academic deadline as well as request Credit standing in BIOL 102 (F 2013), MATH 121, PHYS 117 (FW 2013/14), ECON 111 (S 2014), ECON 232, ECON 310, ECON 322 (W 2016) and ECON 222 (F 2016). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Note that students are permitted a maximum of 36.0 units in CR and/or AG notations throughout their entire program. With these changes, you will currently be at 30.0 units in CR notations.

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.

I sincerely congratulate you on your strength and determination to seek help and work hard to overcome your challenges in the face of adversity. You should be proud of the progress you have made this year.

Yours sincerely,


Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
