Associate Dean: Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.

Student Email: 16jc30@queensu.ca

Course: ECON 290
Term: Fall
Year: 2018
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Mr. Cao:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ECON 290 (F 2018) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

We typically require documentation of a reason why you didn€™t drop or appeal as soon as you received your midterm grade. However, I will grant the late drop because I commend you for recognizing that you are struggling with the course content and cannot risk another failure. From now on each term, please come to speak with an academic advisor at Week 7 to discuss your progress and they can help you decide whether to drop courses before the Week 8 deadline.

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)
