Letter of Permission

A letter of permission allows students to take courses at another recognized post-secondary institution that may be considered for credit towards their program at ²ÝÁñÉçÇø. It is similar to requesting transfer credit, but is requested before the course begins.

To be eligible for a Letter of Permission, students must

• Are in good academic standing, (not on academic probation or required to withdraw)
• Have an account that is not in arrears (no payments owing to ²ÝÁñÉçÇø)

Conditions of a Letter of Permission

• A Letter of Permission can only be granted before studying at another institution. If you have already begun studies, request Transfer Credit instead.
• If you have already taken an equivalent course at ²ÝÁñÉçÇø, the ²ÝÁñÉçÇø grade will remain on your GPA.
• Coursework completed on an LOP does not count towards your GPA at ²ÝÁñÉçÇø.
• Courses taken on an LOP are considered as transfer credit and is subject to all policies and practices for transfer credits.
• LOPs are valid only for the semester for which they are issued; they will not be processed for the current semester after the withdrawal date for that semester. Extensions will require another LOP which may or may not be granted. If approved, Letters of Permission will be sent to the institution the student requested to attend.
