Dear Mr. Dignam:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop HIST 225, HIST 246 and CLST 200 (F 2018) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I encourage you to follow through with your plans to make use of the support services available at Queen€™s and to carry a lighter course load. I would strongly suggest that you evaluate the impact your health is having on your academics during week 7 of the term and drop courses by week 8 should you be behind in your course requirements.

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.

Best of luck with your studies this term.

Yours sincerely,


Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
