Dear Mr. Thomas:
I have reviewed your request to apply for a retroactive letter of permission to transfer credit for a course taken through the University of Alberta over the summer 2014 term. As you now know, Regulation 14.1 indicates that, €œThe student must obtain a Letter of Permission from the Arts and Science Faculty Office prior to enrolling in classes at another post-secondary institution.€ This type of request would not normally be granted; however, given that you were a first year student and unfamiliar with the academic regulations during the time that you registered for this course, I agree to this request.
Please submit your application for the Letter of Permission as soon as possible to ensure that the course requested will count at Queen€™s. You can obtain an application form at http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/student-forms (use the international letter of permission application form NOT the domestic form). Please include the course description with your application form as well as the application fee (in the link above, click on the Pay Now button). It may take up to three weeks to receive your letter of permission.
Note that official transcripts with final grades must be received by the Faculty of Arts and Science Office by 15 May to be considered for graduation at Spring Convocation, or by 15 October for Fall Convocation. Finally, 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.
I have also reviewed your appeal to add ECON 111 (F 2013) in place of ECON 110. The academic regulations are very clear that you may not receive credit for the first half of a multi-term course: Academic Regulation 4.4, €œStudents who drop a multi-term course, even after successfully completing the first half of the course, must enrol in and complete both halves of the course in a subsequent academic period in order to earn credit for the course.€ Also note Academic Regulation 4.5, €œ No part of Academic Regulation 4 may be appealed.€ Therefore, I cannot consider this request.
Yours sincerely,
J. Hugh Horton, Ph.D.
