Decision Letter
Submission Number: 13662
Decision Date: November 4, 2025
Associate Dean: Dorit Naaman (Associate Dean Academic)
Student Name: Lauren Thomas
Student Email: 17lgt@queensu.ca
Your petition to Waive the Deadline related to the 2019 Fall, 2020 Fall, 2021 Winter, and 2022 Winter terms has been granted.
I will also allow you to drop RELS 237 (F19), FILM 225, FILM 312 (F20), FILM 346, FILM 356, INDG 301 (W21), FILM 351 and FILM 356 (W22) after the academic deadline, without a subsequent petition request. Your final grades in these courses will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript once this has been processed by the Office of the University Registrar.
I want to remind you that the 1-year petition deadline has not yet passed for courses from the 2024 Fall or 2025 Winter term so you can submit a new petition request under the category Drop a Course After the Academic Deadline for ENGL 296 (F24) at this time. Your documentation for this type of request should directly speak to the 2024 Fall term. You can submit the request through the online petitions portal here: https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/undergraduate/student-services/academic-petitions-and-appeals.
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.
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.
