Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Appeal Number: 4423
Decision Date: May 14, 2018
Associate Dean: Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Alexandra da Silva
Student Email: 15aads@queensu.ca

Course: HIST 280
Term: Fall/Winter
Year: 2018
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Ms. da Silva:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop HIST 280 (F/W 2017-18) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Going forward, please note that you will be expected to drop courses by the drop deadline dates. That means stopping to reflect on your progress during week 7 & 8 and dropping any courses in which you have fallen behind by the end of week 8 (the drop deadline). Appeals for late drops are generally reserved for those who encounter problems after week 8 or whose problems are more acute.

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.

Yours sincerely,


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