Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Appeal Number: 5456
Decision Date: March 25, 2019
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Bianca Chaaya
Student Email: 16bnc1@queensu.ca

Course: BIO 350
Term: Winter
Year: 2019
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Ms. Chaaya:

I was sorry to have read in your letter of appeal that the recovery period regarding your surgery has been longer than you had anticipated. No doubt that has impacted your studies this term so, have decided to grant your appeal to drop BIOL 350 (W2019) past the academic deadline based on those circumstances. I am hopeful that the dropping of this course will indeed give you the extra time you need to focus on your other courses.

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 wish you well in your continued recovery.

Yours sincerely,


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