If you wish to take a course at another institution you must in advance apply for and receive a Letter of Permission from the Ontario Tech University (Ontario Tech).  A Letter of Permission ensures the courses to be taken at the host institution will be recognized for credit at Ontario Tech and are applicable to your program of study.

Please note: Failure to obtain a Letter of Permission prior to taking the course will result in the credit not being transferred.

Also:

• A minimum four-week processing time is required following the submission of complete documentation and payment of a non-refundable processing fee.
• You must register for the approved course(s) at the host institution during the academic term you specify on your Letter of Permission (LOP) form. If you do not take the approved course in the term specified, you will be required to reapply for LOP and pay the applicable fee.
• Letters of permission are granted on the approval of the Dean in consultation with the Registrar’s office.
• For equivalency, the course(s) content from the host institution must contain a majority overlap with a Ontario Tech course. The appropriate faculty makes this determination of equivalency.
• Students must achieve a minimum mark of 60 per cent to have the course transferred for credit.
• The Letter of Permission credit(s) will be indicated by a T on the student's transcript and will not be used in the GPA calculation.
