Dear Mr. Poirier:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop SOCY 273, POLS 385, POLS 367, POLS 361, PHIL 318 (W 2018) and ECON 280, POLS 310, POLS 366, POLS 367, SOCY 306 (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. 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.

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 encourage you to continue to work with your specialist and receive the treatment recommended and will look forward to your return to Queen€™s when you are ready to do so.

Yours sincerely,


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