Letter of Permission

​A student may be permitted to take course(s) at another university for credit. A Letter of Permission to undertake such courses must be obtained from an Academic Advisor before registering at the other university.


Students enrolled in the Consecutive Education Program are not permitted to take courses from another University for credit towards their Bachelor of Education program.

A request for a Letter of Permission must be made in writing and must include a current calendar description of the course(s) to be taken. If the request is approved, a copy of the Letter of Permission must be sent by the student to the host university.

The Letter of Permission will specify the minimum grade required to transfer the course to Nipissing University.

It is the student’s responsibility to send to the Registrar an official transcript of grade(s) from the host university. Upon receipt of the transcript, the course(s) will be entered on the student’s academic record. The grade(s) received for course(s) completed on a Letter of Permission will not be used in the calculation of averages.

Letters of Permission are not normally issued unless students are in good academic standing. Only under exceptional circumstances are Letters of Permission issued for students to complete the last 30 credits in their degree program. A fee is charged for each Letter of Permission and normally requires two to four weeks to process.

Students enrolled at another university may be admitted to Nipissing University for purposes of transfer of credit to their home university. Please refer to the Admission to Non-Degree Studies (See Letter of Permission Applicants).
