Appeal Number: 8785
Decision Date: February 28, 2022
Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Student Name: Nicola Eriksen
Student Email: colaeriksen@gmail.com


Dear Nicola:

I have reviewed your request to complete the balance of your degree requirements at the University of British Columbia on a Letter of Permission for your BA (Honours) degree with Medial concentrations in Psychology and Drama. 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 Psychology and Drama departments, I agree to this request. Please consult with your departments 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 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 57.0 transfer units towards their BA Honours degree (see Academic Regulation 16.1.3).

I wish you well in the remainder of your studies at Queen??s, in your studies while attending the University of British Columbia, and in your future undertakings.

Yours sincerely,



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