Dear Xueying:

I have reviewed your petition to take more than 6.0 units at another institution on a Letter of Permission during the 2025/2026 academic year, specifically your request to take 3.0 units of ECON courses at another institution during the 2026 Summer term. After reviewing your file, I have decided the following:

As you are currently attempting more than the recommended number of courses this Winter term (15.0 units at Queen’s and 6.0 units at another institution), I will allow you to apply for 3.0 units of ECON courses at another institution during the 2026 Summer term pending successful completion of your current courses. Please know that students can take a maximum of 18.0 units per term, including courses taken at other institutions.

The academic drop deadline for the 2026 Winter term is April 6. It is your responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on your coursework prior to the drop deadline of the term. If you fall behind in a course or find the material too difficult, you should drop the course by deadline. The drop deadlines, outlined in the “Important Dates” section on the Faculty of Arts and Science web page, have been established to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all students. 

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 students admitted to the Faculty of Arts and Science prior to Fall 2024 are allowed a maximum of 57.0 transfer units toward their academic program and a maximum of 24.0 transfer units (excluding supporting courses) toward their Major plan.

Sincerely,

Dorit Naaman, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
