The Fourth Year of all Honours Academic Plans in Science, must be completed at the University of Waterloo. Students in good academic standing and whose total number of transfer credits is less than the maximum permitted may be allowed to take courses at another university during a term off-campus to count as credit towards a degree. Normally courses taken on a Letter of Permission are electives. However, up to 2.0 units to replace core sciences and/or maths may be taken. A student wishing to do so must complete the "Letter of Permission" form available at www.registrar.uwaterloo.ca/forms/index.html and have it authorized by the Associate Dean. The Letter of Permission must be obtained before taking the course.
A course taken on a Letter of Permission will be given credit as long as the mark obtained is 60% or better. No grade will be assigned.
