Dear Mr. Weir:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop SOCY 211 and SOCY 227 (W 2015) past the academic deadline as well as receive Credit standing in FILM 110B, HIST 122B, SOCY 122B (W 2014), FILM 240 (S 2014), HIST 245 and SOCY 210 (F 2014). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I would recommend that for the next academic year you continue to carry a lighter course load to help you manage your ongoing circumstances.

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 confident that in the future you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page. These deadlines 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.

Yours sincerely,

Sue Blake, Ph.D.
Assistant Dean (Studies)
