Dear Mr. Lynch:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop POLS 110 (FW 2016/17) and MUSC 104 (W 2017) past the academic deadline as well as receive Credit standing in ENGL 100 and FILM 110 (FW 2016/17). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Please note that you must register with QSAS (Queen€™s Accessibility Services) for the 2017/18 academic year and make full use of the academic accommodations provided. I would suggest that you do so as soon as possible to avoid any delays in receiving your accommodation letter and making the appropriate arrangements.

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)
