Dear Mr. Zhao:

I have carefully considered your request to have your appeal heard after the 21-day or one term deadline for submission, and have decided, based on the circumstances you refer to in your letter of appeal, to waive the timeline and to drop CHEM 112, PHYS 106 (F/W 2015-16); ECON 111, MATH 280 (F 2016); MATH 281, STAT 269 (W 2017) past the academic deadline and receive Credit standing in MATH 231, STAT 268 (F 2016); MATH 210 (W 2017). After reviewing your file, I have decided the following:

I will grant all of your requests with the exception of MATH 210. Upon confirming the information with the instructor, we discovered that there was a calculation error and your grade should be an F. Therefore, I cannot allow you to receive a CR grade as you did not pass the course but I will allow you to drop this course past the academic deadline instead.

Please read carefully the document to follow this letter. It contains important information concerning your current academic standing. If you have any questions about the information, please contact the Faculty Office to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor.

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,


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