Dear Ms. Fielding:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PSYC 342 (F 2017) past the academic deadline and receive Credit standing in PSYC 205, BIOL 330 and PSYC 322 (F 2017). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. Your grades in PSYC 205, BIOL 330 and PSYC 322 will appear on your transcript as CR.

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. Further, I encourage you to continue to work with QSAS for ongoing support with your studies.

Yours sincerely,


Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
