Letters of Permission

Letters of Permission allow Faculty of Arts students to receive credit at York for courses taken at other universities. In order to receive credit for such courses, a Letter of Permission must be obtained prior to enrolling. Application forms for Letters of Permission are available at the Office of the Registrar, West Office Building.

Courses which students propose to take on a Letter of Permission must be acceptable to the Faculty of Arts teaching unit best able to judge their academic merit. The Faculty is under no obligation to accept courses taken without its permission.

Students must be in good academic standing to be eligible for a Letter of Permission; students under Academic Warning or Debarment Warning are not eligible.

In order to receive credit for courses taken on a Letter of Permission, students must arrange for the host institution to submit an official transcript to the Office of the Registrar, West Office Building. A minimum grade of C as understood in the Faculty of Arts is required for credit to be granted. Grades earned in courses taken at other postsecondary institutions are not part of the student's York transcript and are not incorporated into the student's grade point average in the Faculty of Arts.
