Dear Ms. Mahadevan:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ENGL 100 (S 2017), PSYC 271 (S 2017) and CHEM 281 (S 2017) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I would encourage you to contact our office (613-533-2470) and meet with an Academic Advisor who can help you to develop a plan to move forward with your degree requirements. In addition, you may also want to seek support from the Queen€™s Student Wellness Services office who can also offer assistance during difficult periods. Appointments can be made by calling (613) 533-6000 ext 78246.

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.

If you wish to request a tuition fee refund due to your extenuating circumstances, you can do by appealing to the Registrar€™s Office. Here is their website with information to help guide you through that process:

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)
