Dear Mr. Burbank:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop MATH 281 (W 2017), PSYC 215 (W 2017), ASTR 101 (S 2017) and PHYS 118 (S 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 drop deadlines if your health issues affect your school work. Those deadlines are outlined in the Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page and 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,



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