Dear Ms. Haughton:

I have reviewed your request to complete courses on a Letter of Permission for your BA (Honours) degree with a Major concentration in History at a university in Italy, through the Cortona program offered by the University of Alberta. 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 History Department, 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 BA Honours degree (see Academic Regulation 16.1.3.). The maximum units allowed to be completed on a Letter of Permission towards your Plan (History Major) is 24.0 (see Academic Regulation 16.1.3 (ii)).

I wish you well in your studies while participating in the University of Alberta, Cortona Program and in your studies when you return to Queen€™s.

Yours sincerely,


Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
