Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Kyle Semple:
I was sorry to read in your appeal letter that you experienced a number of challenge during Winter term 2019. After carefully considering your appeal to drop GPHY 102 and GPHY 247 (W 2019) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined as well as your documentation.
I have granted this appeal based on your circumstances but also because of the supports you have put in place but I must warn you that appeals based on similar circumstances may not be granted in the future. I encourage you to continue to work with your Counsellor and to consider registering with QSAS to work with an accommodation advisor who can help you manage your academics if you feel that your health related challenges will continue. This could include taking a lighter course load and would include evaluating the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term. The 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.
Best of luck next term.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
