Student Email: 20lk21@queensu.ca
Course: BCHM 218
Term: Summer
Year: 2025
Category: Request an extension of an exam deferral
Instructor: Doug Quilty
Additional Information: Midterm Exam
Dear Jasmine:
I have carefully considered your request for a deferral of the exam in BCHM 218 (S25). After reviewing your petition, and the information supplied by the instructor of the course, I have decided to grant your request.
I have granted this request so that you can complete this course. It is your responsibility to connect with instructor Quilty as soon as possible to make the arrangements to complete the exam, at their convenience, during the August deferral period.
Jasmine, I want you to know that this was a lenient decision as the instructor of BCHM 218 indicates that they have made considerable efforts to reschedule multiple exams to accommodate you during both attempts at this course. It was also noted that you did not submit an assignment during your most recent attempt. Please know that it is your responsibility to communicate in a timely manner with instructors as problems arise and that the petition process is not meant to bypass this expected communication, but rather to address documented extenuating circumstances. It is your responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on your coursework prior to the drop deadline of the term. If you fall behind in a course or find the material too difficult, you should drop the course by deadline. 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.
Going forward, I highly advise that you book an appointment with an Academic Advisor to review your progress and provide you with resources and support, so that you can meet deadlines and succeed in your future courses.
Sincerely,
Dorit Naaman, PhD
