Decision Letter
Submission Number: 10829
Decision Date: August 14, 2023
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Mannat Mehra
Student Email: 21mm169@queensu.ca
Course: MATH 121
Term: Fall/Winter
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Mannat:
I am sorry to read in your petition letter that you encountered challenges as you began your first year at Queen’s which no doubt impacted your studies. I have carefully considered your request to drop MATH 121 (FW 2022/23) past the academic deadline and 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 were are a first-year student, but going forward, I recommend that you pause and evaluate your progress in your courses during week 7 of each term, and if you have fallen behind or your circumstances are 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:

Let me also advise you Mannat that our Queen’s University International Centre (QUIC) is available to assist our international students with a variety of issues but also provide support as you adjust to your new environment.
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.
I wish you success in your studies next year.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
