Dear Ben Gotlib:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CLST 201 (W22) past the academic deadline and I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on the timeline and severity of your extenuating circumstances as verified within your supporting documentation. Going forward, I want you to know that it is never recommended for a student to write an exam while they are unwell. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the following academic support services that are available to you:

If you find that you are struggling to meet your academic requirements in your classes, you may be eligible for academic consideration at https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/undergrad-students/academic-consideration-for-students.

Student Wellness Services (SWS) https://www.queensu.ca/studentwellness/ is located on campus in Mitchel Hall and can provide you with personal and healthcare supports.

If you have questions about your degree requirements or want to discuss your academic plan, you may benefit from an appointment with an Academic Advisor. To book an Academic Advising appointment, please visit our website at https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/undergrad-students/student-services/academic-advising.

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.

Yours sincerely,

Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
