Learn how to request a Letter of Permission to take a course at another university and ensure it counts toward your Acadia degree.

If you want to take a course at another university and have it count toward your Acadia degree, you’ll need to request a Letter of Permission (LOP).

📝 Steps to follow

1. Download and complete the Letter of Permission Request Form:
   👉 LOP Request Form (Word Doc)

2. Submit the completed form to the Registrar’s Office: registrar@acadiau.ca

3. Make sure your student account balance is clear:

   • You must have a zero balance or have made payment arrangements with Student Accounts before your request can be processed.

📌 What the LOP does

• It tells the host institution that Acadia has approved you to take a course there.
• It ensures the course will be recognized for transfer credit once completed.
