Dear Ms. Amanambu:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CHEM 281 (F 2012), GEOL 475, GEOL 543B, MICR 221 (W 2013), COMM 200 (F 2013), MATH 121B, ECON 110B and PSYC 100B (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. As a result of these course drops, your GPA is now at 1.62 so the €œRequired to Withdraw€ ruling will be removed from your transcript altogether as 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)
