Dear Decheng Zhu:

I have reviewed your request to complete 9.0 units on a Letter of Permission for your Bachelor of Computing (Honours) degree at Athabasca University. As you know, Regulation 14.4 indicates that ??normally 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. Please find the application form at the following web site:
https://www.queensu.ca/artsci/sites/default/files/blank_lop.pdf

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 Honours degree (see Academic Regulation 16.1.3).

Best of luck in the coming year.

Yours sincerely,


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