Decision Date: December 11, 2023
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Shannon Bowes
Student Email: shannon.bowes@queensu.ca

Course: WRIT120
Term: Winter
Year: 2023
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Shannon:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop WRIT 120 (W23) past the academic deadline and after reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Although I see that you enrolled in this class in SOLUS in August of 2022, I have granted this appeal as the Arts and Science Online office has confirmed that you did not participate in this class at all during the Winter term.

Going forward, you should make every effort to check your schedule in SOLUS as well as to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in the "Important Dates" section on the Arts and Science web website and to ensure that courses that you do not intend to complete are dropped on SOLUS successfully before the posted drop deadline.

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.
Associate Dean (Academic)
