Dear Mr. Meredith:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CISC 101, CISC 102 (F 2016), FILM 110 (FW 2016/17), GNDS 125 and MUSC 102 (W 2017) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

As a result of this decision, the €œRequired to Withdraw€ ruling will be removed from your transcript. You may now resume your studies at Queen's University.

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.

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
Assistant Dean (Studies)
