Dear Mary Morrison,
After carefully considering your appeal to drop BIOL 205, BIOL 243 and CHEM 281 (W19) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances but need to warn you that the appeals process is not meant to be used to manage a chronic condition. Instead, students should register with QSAS and work with an accommodation advisor to manage their academics. Courses with high stakes assignments ae common, therefore you should find some strategies to cope so that you can be successful in these types of courses.
I also recommend that you meet with an Academic Advisor within Student Services to go over your academic plan moving forward as you may want to consider taking a lighter course load to help you be more successful in your courses while you are working on managing your health condition. You should also pause and evaluate the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term. The week 8 drop deadlines, as they have been outlined in the €œImportant Dates€ section on the Arts and Science web page, have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students and to facilitate the timely completion of university studies at Queen's.
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,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
