Dear Academic Associate Dean:

I am writing to appeal TO TAKE 3rd AND 4th YEAR COURSES ON A LETTER OF PERMISSION THROUGH ANOTHER UNIVERSITY.

I am a fourth-year student who is going to complete my studies in the 2021 Fall term. According to my academic advisement report, there are 12 units courses needed to fulfill my degree requirements. Two of them are 400-level CISC courses in the concentration requirement and the other two are elective courses. I will take the concentration requirement 400-level CISC courses at Queen's. For the other two elective courses, I wanted to take some courses that are related to my professional field.

However, there are not much computing courses available for me to take at Queen's in fall term. Some of them are either not provided this year or only provided in winter term. I checked the computing courses from Athabasca University and found few courses that fits my interests and provides imperative skills for my future career. Therefore, I hope I could have the chance to take these courses as my elective courses transferred to Queen's.

I have done the degree audit with computing undergraduate assistant, and I attached the degree audit file within the supporting document.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Jenny Sun

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: I am enrolled in my desired program - Computer Science Specialization, Bachelor of Computing (Hons.) Program.

For the 6.00 unit in the computer science specialization requirement (concentration), I will take CISC 452 and CISC 474 at Queen's on campus. For the other 6.00 unit for BCH (electives), I will take two computing online courses from Athabasca University. I have already confirmed with computing undergraduate chair that the courses I want to take can be transferred. I will complete these four courses from September to December (2021 Fall) and thus fulfill all my degree requirements.

My academic performance is good, my current cumulative GPA is 3.64 and I always take study seriously. I am confident that taking the online courses from Athabasca University will not affect my study on campus, instead, the course I choose will bring me practical and vital knowledge for my post-graduation career.
