Dear Ms. Hamburger:

I was sorry to read in your appeal letter that you suffered a concussion following an accident. No doubt having experienced severe symptoms, you struggled in your courses. After careful consideration of your letter of appeal seeking Aegrotat standing in BIOL 330 (F 2018) and the documentation you submitted as well as the information supplied by the instructor about your performance in this course, I have decided to grant your appeal.

The instructor has already submitted a replacement grade based on the work you have completed which will appear on your transcript as A- along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.

Best of luck in your continued recovery and the completion of your Queen€™s degree.

Yours sincerely,


Jenn Stephenson Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
