Dear Jane:

I have reviewed your request to complete courses during Winter term 2024 on an International Letter of Permission for your BA (Honours) degree with a Major concentration in Film and Media. 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, I agree to this request.

I encourage you to consult with your department when choosing courses 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 abroad as well as the remainder of your studies at Queen??s.

Yours sincerely,


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