Dear Jessica Ferguson:
I have carefully considered your request to waive the petition deadline related to the 2022 Fall and 2023 Winter terms. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
You may now access on the on-line petition portal at queensu.ca/artsci/undergraduate/student-services/academic-petitions-and-appeals to submit your new petition under the appropriate category such as, to drop a course after the academic deadline.
Within your new petition request, you should include a letter that outlines how each course was affected by extenuating circumstances and why you didn’t drop the course by the academic deadline. Your supporting documentation should also confirm the timeline and academic impacts of the circumstance during the 2022 Fall and 2023 Winter terms. Documentation can include but is not limited to a letter from a professional such as Student Wellness Services (SWS), an off-campus physician’s letter (if your healthcare provider is not within the Queen’s community), a death certificate, or legal documents if relevant. If your extenuating circumstances are personal in nature or cannot be documented professionally, we may accept a letter from a family member or friend as long as they supply their contact information so that it can be verified.
If you have any questions about your subsequent petition request, please meet with an Academic Advisor for support.
Sincerely,
Dorit Naaman, Ph.D.
