3.3.8 School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape - Letter of Permission


See B.12 Residency Requirements, Letters of Permission and Leaves of Absence.

Students must request permission to register in courses at another post-secondary institution while enrolled in a degree program at the University of Calgary. Taking courses at another post-secondary institution without a Letter of Permission may result in a denial of transfer credit or in some circumstances a required to withdraw ruling.

Students must complete 12 units before they are eligible to apply for a Letter of Permission. Students on academic probation will not be granted a Letter of Permission except under special circumstances. Exceptions require the approval of the Associate Dean.

Students request Letters of Permission through their online Student Centre. Students should check with an advisor in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape to ensure that courses taken elsewhere will receive transfer credit and that such transfer credit will advance their program.

Students must apply for the Letter of Permission before registering at another institution. Once the course is completed, students must arrange for an official transcript to be sent to the Admissions Office in order to have transfer credit recorded.

Grades for transfer courses are not included in the GPA calculation used in the annual academic review or the calculation of the Dean’s List.

See 3.4 Transfer of Course Credits for more information.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
