Dear Ji Hyun Chung:

I was sorry to have read in your letter of appeal of the difficulties you have encountered this term and I will certainly grant your appeal to drop EPID 301, MICR 360, NSCI 323 and PHAR 340 (F 2019) past the academic deadline based on these challenging circumstances.

I am pleased to see that you have a plan in place for seeking treatment and support when you return to Toronto and I wish you well in your recovery. Upon your return to Queen€™s, I encourage you to follow through with your plan to reach out to the various services available to assist you Ji Hyun. You may want to ensure you contact QSAS if ongoing help is required. That office can help support both your health and academics by assist you with appropriate accommodations which may be helpful going forward.

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.

We will look forward to your return to the Faculty of Arts and Science in September.

Yours sincerely,


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