Dear Mr. Tolmie

I have reviewed your request to complete 54.0 units on a Letter of Permission for your Bachelor of Computing (Honours) degree with a Specialization in Software Design at Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). 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 School of Computing, I agree to this request. Please consult with your department regularly to ensure that the courses you select will properly fulfill the Queen€™s requirements for your degree.

You must now apply for a Letter of Permission through the Faculty of Arts and Science Office. Please allow up to 21 days to receive a response.

Note that official transcripts with final grades must be received by the Faculty of Arts and Science Office upon completion of the courses. 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.

Finally, please be advised that a student can complete a maximum of 54.0 transfer units towards their Bachelor of Computing degree (see Academic Regulation 16.1.3).

I wish you well in your studies at UOIT and in your future undertakings.

Yours sincerely,


Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
