Decision Date: November 22, 2018
Associate Dean: Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.

Student Email: 14jn26@queensu.ca

Course: GPHY 243
Term: Fall
Year: 2018
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Mr. Nicholson:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop GPHY 243 (F 2018) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

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. The week 8 deadline is designed to provide students with the opportunity to drop courses if extenuating circumstances are affecting their coursework.

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)
