Dear Ms. Kabrajee:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ENGL 234 (F 2016), ENGL 356 (F/W 2016-17), ENGL 360 (F/W 2016-17), ENGL 238 (W 2017) and PHYS P20 W 2017) past the academic deadline and receive Credit standing in CLST 205 (F 2016). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

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 recommend that you follow your psychotherapist€™s advice and enrol in a reduced course load next year to focus your efforts and improve your ability to be successful. You may also wish to consult with an academic advisor in the Student Services Office for assistance with course planning.

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)
