Dear Thomas:

I have reviewed your request to complete courses on an International Letter of Permission for your BA (Honours) degree with a Major concentration in Film and Media, and a Minor in History at the University College Dublin. 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 petition letter of appeal, and your thoughtful overview of the courses you plan to register in, I agree to this request. Please consult with your department to ensure that the courses you select will properly fulfill the Queen’s requirements for your degree.

You must now apply for an International Letter of Permission through the International Programs Office. Please allow up to 21 days to receive a response.

Note that official transcripts with final grades must be received by the International Programs Office (IPO) upon completion of the courses so they can facilitate the transfer of those courses to Queen’s. 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 your studies while attending university in Ireland as well as the remainder of your studies at Queen’s.

Yours sincerely,


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