Students who are in Satisfactory standing or better may request permission to take a course(s) at another university for credit toward their degree at the University of Waterloo. A maximum of 5.0 units can be obtained this way. Credit will be given only if the grade is 60% or higher and the Letter of Permission Application is approved by the school/department associate director/chair, undergraduate studies, before taking each course. All passed courses taken on a Letter of Permission will be recorded with a grade of Credit granted (CR) and will not factor into average calculations.
Note
The granting of any Letter of Permission by Waterloo does not necessarily ensure that the student will be able to enrol in the approved course at the other university. There may be restrictions on class enrolment, etc., at that institution. Students should contact that institution's office of the registrar for procedural details.
