Students registered at the University may take courses at another recognized university, provided a Letter of Permission has been obtained from the Office of the Registrar at Wilfrid Laurier University at least two weeks prior to registration in such courses. A Letter of Permission request will be assessed a non-refundable fee (see Financial Services chapter).

A Letter of Permission will be issued only to a regular student who has successfully completed a minimum of three credits at Wilfrid Laurier University, has obtained a minimum cumulative GPA of 4.00, and is not on academic probation. A Letter of Permission will not be issued for courses that are less than six weeks in length.

A student, who does not register for the course(s) specified in the Letter of Permission, must notify the Office of the Registrar at Wilfrid Laurier University, in writing, before the start of the session indicated in the letter.

It is the student's responsibility to have a transcript of final grades sent to the Office of the Registrar of Wilfrid Laurier University. The grade attained in the course taken on a Letter of Permission will be included in the cumulative GPA. If the transcript is not received within one month after completion of the course, a grade of "F'' will be assigned to each course.

Prospective graduates should note that when the final course of a program is taken on a Letter of Permission in Winter Term, graduation would not be sooner than Fall Convocation. An official transcript must be received by the Office of the Registrar no later than May 1 for Spring Convocation and October 1 for Fall Convocation.
