Decision Letter
Submission Number: 10145
Decision Date: March 10, 2023
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Cora Tee
Student Email: 20cylt@queensu.ca
Course: HIST 267
Term: Winter
Year: 2023
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Cora:
I am sorry to read in your petition letter, and subsequent email, the circumstances you have outlined, and I have carefully considered your request to drop HIST 267 (W 2023) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your petition, I have decided to grant your request.
I have exercised some leniency in this decision, acknowledging the challenges you outlined and since you submitted this petition within a week of the drop deadline, but normally such a request would require supporting documentation. If there are additional petitions submitted in the future, documentation which supports the timeline, severity and impact of your extenuating circumstances would be required.
Going forward, I recommend that you pause and evaluate your health and progress in your courses during week 7 of each term, and if you have fallen behind or your health is impacting your studies, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop deadline. 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 at Queen's.
Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop 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:

Cora, I encourage you to follow through with your plan and seek assistance from a health care professional. If your circumstances will be ongoing, you may want to register with QSAS who may be able to put in place accommodations to support both your health and 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.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
