Your petition to Waive the Deadline related to the 2021 Fall, 2022 Winter, 2022 Summer, and 2022 Fall terms has been granted.

I will also allow you to drop DEVS 306 (W22), FILM 260 (S22), DRAM 251, FILM 340, FILM 350, and FILM 394 (F22) 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.

If you would like to request that any additional courses be dropped after the academic deadline, 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 for courses from the 2021 Fall term.

Your new petition request should include documentation that speaks to the academic impacts of an extenuating circumstance during the term you are petitioning.

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.
