Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Matteya McHardy

Instructor: Professor Melissa Houghtaling
Dear Matteya McHardy:
I was sorry to read that you have been dealing with a medical condition during Fall term. After carefully considering your appeal to drop GNDS 120 (F 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 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. An appeal based on the same circumstances may not be granted in the future. I encourage you to register with QSAS and work with an accommodation advisor who can help you manage both your health and academics. 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.
I am pleased to see that you are carrying a lighter course load this term and wish you well in your studies.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
