Dear Mr. Sakamoto:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ENGL 234 (F 2014), ENGL 200B, ENGL 237, ENGL 259, ENGL 271 and ENGL 278 (W 2015) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I am granting this appeal based on your self-declaration of family circumstances that undoubtedly had an effect on your academics this past year. However, note that supporting documentation from a professional must be submitted for any future appeal to be considered. This documentation must confirm the full timeline and severity of your extenuating circumstances as well as their impact on your ability to participate in your courses.

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
Assistant Dean (Studies)
