Decision Letter
Submission Number: 13061
Decision Date: June 26, 2025
Associate Dean: Dorit Naaman (Associate Dean Academic)
Student Name: Marcus Zain Sorrell
Student Email: 18mzs1@queensu.ca
Dear Marcus:
I have carefully considered your petition to waive the deadline related to the 2022 Winter, 2022 Summer, 2022 Fall and 2023 Winter terms. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this request due to the timeline of extenuating circumstances as confirmed within the documentation you replied. I will also allow you to drop HIST 253, LLCU 244 (W22), HIST 260 (S22), ARTH 226, ARTH 277, HIST 228, HIST 255, HIST 442 (F22), ARTH 220, ARTH 383, HIST 275, HIST 365, and HIST 402 (W23) without having to submit a subsequent petition. Your grades in these courses will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript.
Going forward, it is the student’s responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on their classes prior to the drop deadline of the term. If they have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, they should drop the course by the deadline. The drop deadlines, as they have been outlined in the “Important Dates” section on the Arts and Science web page, have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science 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,
Dorit Naaman
Associate Dean (Academic)
