Dear Ms. Li:

I have reviewed your request to complete the final term of your B.Sc. (Honours) degree with a Major Plan in Life Sciences and Minor Plan in World Language Studies at Fudan University. As you know, Regulation 14.4 indicates that €œnormally the last two years of the Honours degree are taken in the Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen€™s.€ However, given the circumstances explained in your letter of appeal, and the support of the Languages, Literature and Cultures Department, I agree to this request. Please consult with your department regularly to ensure that the courses you select at your visiting university will properly fulfill the Queen€™s requirements for your degree.

I would remind you to review the Academic Regulation 14 governing the taking of courses at other educational institutions. In particular, note that before you take these courses you must submit an International Letter of Permission application to the International Programs Office to ensure that the courses requested will count at Queen€™s. You can obtain an application form at http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/student-forms Please include course descriptions with your application form as well as the application fee http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/student-forms (click on the €œpay now button€) It may take up to three weeks to receive your letter of permission.

Note that official transcripts with final grades must be received by the International Programs Office by 15 May to be considered for graduation at Spring Convocation, or by 15 October for Fall Convocation. Finally, please keep in mind that you must achieve a minimum grade of C on each course taken on a Letter of Permission, unless stated otherwise.

I wish you well in the remainder of your studies at Queen€™s, in your studies at Fudan University, and in your future undertakings.

Yours sincerely,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
