Decision Date: July 18, 2018

Student Email: p.mak@queensu.ca


Dear Ms. Mak:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PSYC 100 (S 2018) 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 assess your health and the impact it is having on your studies during week 7 of the academic term and drop courses by week 8 if you have not been able to keep up with the course requirements. Deadline dates to drop courses have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students providing them with the opportunity to evaluate their progress and make informed decisions regarding dropping courses when life circumstances affect their studies.

Yours sincerely,



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