There are a few important dates at the top of this email that you should mark in your calendar. In particular, you have until January 21, 2022 to drop/switch winter term courses without financial penalty. You can find step-by-step instructions for adding or dropping courses online, or you can contact us at asc.online@queensu.ca for assistance.
We also ask that whenever you write to us at asc.online@queensu.ca, please use your Queen's email address and provide your Student ID number in the message. This will help the student support team when answering your questions.
All the best with your winter term courses!

LOOKING FOR SOME HELP?

**NEW** The ASUS Appeals Resource Centre (AARC) provides support for students who are in the process of making academic appeals, whether with respect to academic regulations or academic integrity. It utilizes student volunteers who are knowledgeable in the appeals process and trained by university staff to provide confidential support. While ASUS Appeals Advisors cannot advocate for students in the appeals process, we aim to help every student put forward their best appeals case possible. ASUS’ Appeals Resource Centre volunteers can make regulations more accessible, improve writing clarity, and help students understand the often complicated appeals process. The service is completely free-of-cost. For more information, please visit their webpage.
