Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Gianfranco Papia
Student Email: 22whw3@queensu.ca

Course: PHYS 115
Term: Fall
Year: 2023
Category: Request credit (CR) standing in a course or courses
Instructor:

Dear Gianfranco:

I have carefully considered your petition for Credit Standing in PHYS 115 (F23). After reviewing your file and the information that I received from the instructor of the course, I have decided to grant your request.

Your grade in this course will be replaced with a CR notation on your transcript.

I have granted this request due to the academic impacts of your extenuating circumstances as reported within your petition letter. Please know that it is the student’s responsibility to pause and 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.

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.
Associate Dean (Academic)
