Dear Savannah,

I have carefully considered your petition to drop COGS 100, FRST 105, HLTH 230, IDIS 199, PSYC 251 (S23) and PSYC 301 (F23) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your grades in these courses will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript.

I have granted this request due to the timeline and severity of extenuating circumstances as confirmed within the documentation that you supplied.

Upon your return to studies, I suggest that you consider registering with Queen’s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) so that you obtain ongoing support from a Counsellor who can help manage the ongoing impacts of your health on your academics.

Going forward, 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)
