Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 6193
Decision Date: November 27, 2019
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Brittnay Boomhower
Student Email: brittboomhower@hotmail.com
Course: ENIN140
Term: Summer
Year: 2018
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Brittany Boomhower:
I was sorry to read that you have been struggling with your health and after careful consideration of your appeal to drop ENIN 140 (S 2018) 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 extenuating circumstances as well as your decision to take a break from your studies so you can focus on your health. Going forward, and when you resume your studies, I strongly suggest that you pause and evaluate the impact of your health on your studies during week 7 of the term. If you have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, you should drop the course by 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 are not meant to manage a chronic condition. When you return, I encourage you to consider registering with QSAS, if you have not done so already, and work with an accommodation advisor who may be able to help you manage your academics along with your health related challenges.
Brittany, if you wish to appeal for a tuition refund, you must do so through the Registrar€™s office. Here is a link to information about that process: http://www.queensu.ca/registrar/sites/webpublish.queensu.ca.uregwww/files/files/Tuition_Fee_Amendment_Appeal_Form.pdf
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 in your continued recovery.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
