Dear Mr. Hai:

I have carefully considered your appeal to waive the Faculty ruling that you be Required to Withdraw for a Minimum of Three Years. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. You may now resume your studies at Queen's University.

While your appeal does not present any extenuating circumstances beyond your control that would normally warrant granting an appeal, your transcript shows that you have made significant academic improvement this year. Your year GPA for 2014-15 is 2.28 €“ a notable improvement from 0.34 last year. I hope that you are able to continue improving your academic performance moving forward. Please ensure that you monitor your workload very carefully and if you feel that it is too heavy or you are not earning the strong grades you need to progress in your degree program, to drop any courses as needed within the academic deadlines.

Please also read carefully the attached document to follow this letter. It contains important information concerning your current academic standing. If you have any questions about the information, please contact the Faculty Office to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor.

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 (main floor Dunning 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,

Sue Blake
Assistant Dean (Studies)
