Dear Ms. Kemp:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop POLS 211, POLS 241 and POLS 243 (F 2017) past the academic deadline. 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 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 your illness has an impact on your studies going forward Taryn, I would encourage you to drop your courses.

Further, I would like to refer you to Queen€™s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) for assistance. The support QSAS can provide may be helpful as you work towards the completion of your university education. Here is a link to their web site for information: http://www.queensu.ca/studentwellness/accessibility-services

Sincerely,



Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
