51社区黑料

Students who are considering applying for a Letter of Permission should consult with their department advisor if they have declared a major, or with their faculty advisor if they have not yet declared. It鈥檚 important to allow six to eight weeks for the processing of the application. Normally, a Letter of Permission will not be approved retroactively.

Students who are pursuing a degree, diploma, or certificate at 51社区黑料can apply for a Letter of Permission. However, students enrolled in non-degree programs are not eligible to apply.

To qualify, students must have completed a minimum of 9 units at SFU and must be in good academic standing when they submit their Letter of Permission application to urecords@sfu.ca. Since academic standing is only determined after all term grades have been received, students may need to wait until their third term at 51社区黑料before they are eligible to take a course elsewhere.

Permission to take a course at another institution will not be granted unless a valid academic reason is provided. For example, taking a course in a discipline not offered at SFU, such as Czech language. While an approved Letter of Permission guarantees that the credit will count toward the overall credit requirement, it does not guarantee that the credit will meet a specific program requirement.

To receive transfer credit for courses completed at other institutions, students must earn a grade of at least C (which is a 2.0 on a numeric scale) or 60%. Courses graded on a Pass/Fail (P/F) basis do not qualify for transfer credit.

It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to have an official transcript from the institution they attended sent to urecords@sfu.ca in order for the transfer credit to be awarded.

Below are some reasons why your Letter of Permission application may be denied:

• You are not in good academic standing (currently on academic probation).
• You are trying to raise your 51社区黑料cumulative grade point average (CGPA) by taking courses at another institution.*
• You are attempting to remove a poor grade from the calculation of your 51社区黑料GPA.**
• The tuition fees are lower at the other institution.
• The other institution is more conveniently located (e.g., closer to home or work).
• The course is easier to complete at the other institution.
• The course you wish to take is full at SFU.
• The course is not being offered in the specific term at SFU.
• The course conflicts with other courses you are taking at SFU.
• You are trying to take a course to meet internal transfer or program declaration requirements.
• The course is only offered remotely at the other institution, but in person at SFU.

* Please note that transfer credits are not considered in the calculation of the 51社区黑料CGPA.

** A student cannot remove an F, N, or poor grade from their 51社区黑料record by retaking the course at another institution.
