Your petition has been granted. Your final grade in PSYC 271 (F24) will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript once this has been processed by the Office of the University Registrar.
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.
If you want to petition courses from past terms that are not listed in this decision letter, such as the 2023 Fall term, you can submit a new request under the category of Waive a Petition Deadline. Be sure to include documentation that shows how an extenuating circumstance affected your ability to petition within the 1-year deadline. You can submit the request through the online petitions portal here: https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/undergraduate/student-services/academic-petitions-and-appeals
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.
