Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 7384
Decision Date: March 15, 2021
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Ché Breadner
Student Email: cheelijahjames@gmail.com
Course: MUSC 114
Term: Fall
Year: 2020
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Che Breadner:
I was sorry to read of the difficulties you experienced during Fall term and after carefully considering your appeal to drop MUSC 114 (F 2020) past the academic deadline, I have decided to grant your request based on the circumstances outlined.
I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances, but this is a lenient decision since you were unable to provide documentation. However, I was pleased to see that you are carrying a lighter course load this term, and to read that you are planning to participate in psychotherapy. I am trusting you have followed through with that plan. I do 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. Instead, you should pause and evaluate your health and life circumstances during week 7 of the term, and if you have fallen behind or your health is impacting your studies, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop date deadline. 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 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 with your courses this term.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
