Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.

Student Email: 18sa59@queensu.ca

Course: ARTH 350
Term: Winter
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Soran Ari:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ARTH 350 (W22) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal due to the severity of your extenuating circumstances as confirmed by the documentation that you had supplied. Going forward, I suggest that you pause to evaluate your academic progress during week 7 of the term and make sure to drop courses that you have fallen behind in or find the material too difficult in by week 8 of the term. The 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.

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)
