Dear Mr. Roy:

I have carefully considered your appeal to waive the Faculty ruling that you be Required to Withdraw for a Minimum of Three Years. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. You may now resume your studies at Queen's University.

In order to reactivate your student file, you must complete a €œReturn to Studies€ form: http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/sites/default/files/return_to_studies.pdf and return it to our office as soon as possible. Please ensure you indicate your desired degree program and plan (concentration). Once our office has received departmental approval of your degree plan, your file will be reactivated.

A cumulative GPA of 1.60 is also required to graduate with a three-year General degree. I would draw your attention to the full academic regulations, particularly 13 (Academic Standing) and 16 (Requirements to Graduate) in the Arts and Science Academic Calendar (http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/academic-calendars/2011-2012-calendar/academic-regulations). I would also refer you the GPA calculator tool on the Arts and Science website (http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/academics/undergraduate/current-students/grading-scheme/what-is-my-gpa).

As part of your return to studies, you may wish to seek academic counselling from an advisor in the Faculty of Arts and Science Student Services office. Appointments can be made by dropping in to our office on the main floor of Dunning Hall or by phoning 533-2470. You may also wish to contact your department of concentration for advice on the successful completion of your academic program. The Learning Commons in Stauffer Library provides a range of services, including workshops designed to improve study skills and develop strategies for meeting the demands of academic life. The Health, Counselling and Disabilities Centre located in the LaSalle Building at 146 Stuart Street also offers personal and academic counselling free of charge to all Queen's students as well as individual consultation to aid in coping with difficulties of a more personal nature.

I hope that you will take advantage of the support services available to you at Queen's. In returning to a regular course of study it is your responsibility to choose courses carefully, seek out the advice necessary to improve your academic performance, and maintain a GPA consistent with the requirements for successful completion of your plan. If you have any questions about this decision, please feel free to contact the Faculty Office for advice or assistance. I wish you success in your future studies.

Yours sincerely,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
