Decision Letter
Appeal Number: 9770
Decision Date: December 6, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Kate Hamilton
Student Email: 19kah7@queensu.ca
Course: ENGL 100
Term: Summer
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Kate:
I am sorry to have read in your petition letter that you struggled in ENGL 100 (S 2022) due to an undiagnosed learning challenge, and I have carefully considered your request to drop that course past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this petition based on the??documentation provided which notes that you had a psychoeducational evaluation completed in August 2022 which has led to a greater understanding of yourself. I was pleased to note that you are now better able to reach out for help.
Going forward, you will be responsible for managing the impact of your condition on your academics proactively and not after the fact via the petition process. I encourage you to carefully evaluate your progress in each of your courses prior to the week 8 drop deadline and if you have fallen behind or you are not performing in courses to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the drop deadline.
Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop date 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:

Kate, I strongly encourage you continue to work with a health professional and to proactively manage the impact of your condition on your academics. If have not yet registered with QSAS already, I encourage you to do so since a QSAS??Advisor??can help put into place appropriate accommodations to help you manage the impact of your challenges on your academics.??
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.
Best of luck this term.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
