Dear Scott Rombough:

I was sorry to read of the challenges you experienced during the Fall term 2017 which was the last term you were a registered student at Queen€™s. No doubt those circumstances had an impact on your studies. After carefully considering your appeal to drop PHIL 293, POLS 384 and POLS 394 (F 2017) past the academic deadline and request Credit standing in COMM 200, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined.

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 future studies.

Yours sincerely,



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