Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 8658
Decision Date: February 7, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Jaida Egboye
Student Email: 18je9@queensu.ca
Course: SOCY 388
Term: Fall
Year: 2021
Category: Request credit (CR) standing in a course or courses
Instructor: NICOLE MYERS
Dear Jaida,
I am sorry to have read in your appeal letter the challenges you experienced during Fall term and I have reviewed your appeal to change the grade you received in SOCY 388 (F 2021) to Credit standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructor about the circumstances surrounding this course, I have decided to grant your appeal.
Your grade in this course will appear on your transcript as CR.
Jaida, I do need to warn you that the appeals process is not meant to be used to manage a chronic condition. Instead, students should register with QSAS and work with an accommodation advisor to help manage their academics. You should also pause and evaluate the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term. The week 8 drop deadlines, as they have been outlined in the ??Important 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.
Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop deadline is our Academic Consideration protocol. A student can request short term consideration if they need more time to complete an assignment or had to miss a class due to documented extenuating circumstances. Here is the link for information about that process:

Best of luck in your courses this term.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
