Your petition has been granted. Your final grades in CISC 101, CISC 102 and MATH 225 (F25) will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript once this has been processed by the Office of the University Registrar.

I will also allow you to drop MATH 112 (F25). If you would like to accept this offer, please email asc.petitions@queensu.ca within 10 business days of receiving this decision.

Going forward, I suggest that you meet with your academic advisor Daralyn, to discuss your Winter courses and to create an academic plan. She can be reached at daralyn.auld@queensu.ca.

Also, 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.
