Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 7520
Decision Date: April 12, 2021
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Ben Gotlib
Student Email: 20bg7@queensu.ca
Course: BISC 101
Term: Winter
Year: 2021
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Ben Gotlib:
I am sorry to have read in your letter of appeal that you have had a difficult term, in part due to COVID. I have carefully considered your appeal to drop BISC 101 (W 2021) past the academic deadline and after reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
Going forward, I suggest you carefully evaluate your progress in your courses during week 7 of the term and if you have fallen behind or you are not performing in the course to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop date deadline. Let me also advise you of the Academic Consideration service where a student can request short term accommodations if you require leeway with assignment due dates. Here is the link for information about that process:

In addition, if your health-related challenges continue, you may want to contact our Student Wellness Services and meet with a Counsellor to discuss ways to manage your anxiety. And finally, I encourage you to following through with your plan to reach out to our Student Academic Success Services who can offer support as you learn to manage a university course load.
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 the balance of your courses this term.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
