Dear Sammi:

I have reviewed your petition to take more than 6.0 units at another institution on a Letter of Permission, specifically your request to take 15.0 units during the 2025 Fall term. 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.

Due to the exceptional opportunity that you presented within your petition request, I will allow you to apply for 15.0 units of courses at Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan for the 2025 Fall term. Please know that students can take a maximum of 18.0 units per term, including courses taken at other institutions.

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 Honours students are allowed a maximum of 57.0 transfer units toward their academic program including a maximum of 24.0 units toward their major plan and a maximum of 12.0 units toward their minor plan.

Sincerely,

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