Submission Number: 13378
Decision Date: September 16, 2025
Associate Dean: Dorit Naaman (Associate Dean Academic)
Student Name: Lucca Meira Bassani
Student Email: 24bfs@queensu.ca

Course: CISC 101
Term: Fall
Year: 2024
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Lucca:

I have carefully considered your petition to drop CISC 101 (F24) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this request due to the timeline and academic impacts of extenuating circumstances as confirmed within the documentation you supplied. Your final grade will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript.

I will also allow you to drop CHEM 112 (FW24/25), CISC 121 (W25) and MATH 112 (W25) as I recognize that these courses were also impacted by the circumstances. If you would like to accept this offer, please email asc.petitions@queensu.ca within 15 business days of receiving this letter.

Going forward, you should know that 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.

Also, I would suggest that you utilize services available through Queen’s for ongoing support such as Student Wellness Services (queensu.ca/studentwellness/) and the Queens University International Centre (https://quic.queensu.ca/), both located in Mitchell Hall.

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, PhD
Associate Dean (Academic)
