Dear Mr. Veltri:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CHEM 112B (W 2014) past the academic deadline, receive Credit standing in BIOL 102 (F 2013), BIOL 103 (W 2014) and PHYS 117B (W 2014) as well as waive the Faculty ruling that you be Required to Withdraw for One Year. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. You may now resume your studies at Queen's University.

Once the grades have been removed from your transcript, this will change your GPA and also remove the €œRequired to Withdraw for One Year€ ruling since it no longer applies. You currently remain in good academic standing.

Upon returning to a regular course of study it is your responsibility to choose courses carefully, seek out the advice necessary to improve your academic performance, and maintain a GPA consistent with the requirements for successful completion of your plan. I hope that you will take advantage of the variety of support services available to you at Queen's. Academic counselling is available through an advisor in the Faculty of Arts and Science Student Services Office (F200 Mackintosh-Corry Hall, phone 533-2470) or through your plan department. The Learning Commons in Stauffer Library also provides a range of services, including workshops designed to improve study skills and develop strategies for meeting the demands of academic life. Further, the Health, Counselling and Disabilities Centre located in the LaSalle Building at 146 Stuart Street (613-533-2506) offers personal and academic counselling free of charge to all Queen's students, as well as individual consultation to aid in coping with difficulties of a more personal nature.

If you have any questions about this decision, please feel free to contact the Faculty Office for advice or assistance. I wish you success in your future studies.

Yours sincerely,



Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
