Dear Megan:

I have reviewed your petition to take more than 6.0 units at another institution on a Letter of Permission during the 2024/2025 academic year. I understand that you are considering applying to transfer to the Faculty of Arts and Science. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

As you know, Regulation 14.1 indicates that a student on a degree program in the Faculty of Arts and Science may be permitted to take up to 6.0 units of undergraduate classes elsewhere for credit toward a degree offered by the Faculty of Arts and Science via a Letter of Permission.

I have granted this request due to the extenuating circumstances that you have presented within your petition letter as well as the documentation that you supplied. If you are accepted into a degree program within the Faculty of Arts and Science, I will allow you to apply for a maximum of 18.0 units of courses at another institution for the 2024/2025 academic year. Please know that students can take a maximum of 18.0 units per term, including courses taken at other institutions.

International Letter of Permission information, including eligibility and application, can be found on the International Programs Office website at queensu.ca/ipo/study-abroad/international-letter-permission. It is important to note that some institutions are not eligible for a Letter of Permission and not all courses are eligible for transfer credits. It is your responsibility to apply for a Letter of Permission through SOLUS and receive approval before applying to the host institution.

Finally, please be advised that Bachelor of Arts General students are allowed a maximum of 42.0 transfer units toward their academic program including a maximum of 12.0 units toward their plan.

I wish you well in your studies next year,

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