Decision Letter
Submission Number: 11300
Decision Date: January 8, 2024
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Nicole Madden
Student Email: nicole.madden@hotmail.com
Course: STAM 200
Term: Summer
Year: 2023
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Nicole,
I have reviewed your petition to drop STAM 200 (F23) after the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this request due to the severity of your extenuating circumstances as confirmed within the documentation that you supplied. Nicole, I want you to know that this was a lenient decision as the documentation that you supplied also indicates that these circumstances have been impacting you since before the Fall term began. Going forward, it is the students’ responsibility to evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on their classes during week 7 of the term. If they have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, they 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.
Upon your return to studies, I would suggest that you consider registering with Queen’s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) if you have not done so already, so that you obtain ongoing support from a Counsellor who can help manage the ongoing impacts of your health 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.
