Year: 2022

Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Dhannya:
I am sorry to have read in your petition letter that you struggled in your courses this past year due to challenges related to your mental health and adjustments to our marking structure. I have carefully considered your request to drop MATH 121 (FW 2022/23) and BIOL 243 (F 2022) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this petition based on your circumstances, and the??documentation provided which notes that you have accessed Student Wellness Services and will continue to do so as you manage your health.
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 during week 7 of the term. If you have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, you should drop the course by week 8 of term. The drop deadlines, outlined in the ??Important Dates? section on the Faculty of Arts and Science web page, have been established to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all students.
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:

Dhannya, I strongly encourage you continue to work with your support persons and to proactively manage the impact of your condition on your academics. If you have not yet registered with QSAS, I encourage you to discuss this option with your counsellor since a QSAS??Advisor??can put in 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.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
