Dear Rachel:
I have reviewed your petition to apply for more than 6.0 units on an International Letter of Permission during the 2023/2024 academic year. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.
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, due to the exceptional opportunity that you have presented within your petition request, I will allow you to take 15.0 units (including 3.0 units of POLS courses) through the IFSA Study Abroad Program in London England during the W24 term.
Please know that a minimum cGPA of 1.9 is required to remain eligible for a Letter of Permission. Students are allowed to enrol in a maximum of 18.0 units per term including courses taken at other institutions. Also, you should know that some courses are not available for transfer credit. Information related to non-transferable courses can be found on the International Programs Office website here queensu.ca/ipo/study-abroad/international-letter-permission/credit-transfer.
You may now apply for an International Letter of Permission through the International Programs Office. We would strongly suggest that you remain closely connected with this office so that you can be made aware of potential disruptions to your international studies if they happen.
Note that official transcripts with final grades must be received by the International Programs 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 you are allowed to complete a maximum of 57.0 transfer units towards your Ba Honours degree (see Academic Regulation 16.1.3) with a maximum of 24.0 units toward your Major in Political Studies plan.
I wish you well in your international studies.
