Dear Ella Grosskopf:

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. 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 exceptional learning opportunity that you have presented within your petition letter. I will allow you to apply for a maximum of 15.0 units of courses at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona for the 2025 Winter term. Please know that students can take a maximum of 18.0 units per term, including courses taken at other institutions.

Ella, I am concerned about your academic plan as it appears from your Academic Progress Report that upon completion of your currently enrolled 2024 Fall term courses, you still require 30.0 units of courses for your Major in Economics and 21.0 units of electives. I acknowledge that you have been working on completing a Certificate in Business however I would strongly recommend that you consider taking some ECON courses through your Letter of Permission for the 2025 Winter term as it may be difficult to schedule all 30.0 units into your 4th year along with your remaining electives.

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 plan.

I wish you well in your studies next year,

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