Letter of Permission Students - Information

If enrolled at another university, you may take Queen’s courses with a Letter of Permission (LOP) from your home institution, specifying the Queen’s course codes and terms.

Application Deadlines for Letter of Permission Students

Steps to Apply:

• Obtain Approval: Secure a Letter of Permission (LOP)from your home university confirming the courses and term(s).
• Submit a Queen’s online application https://queensu.my.site.com/apply/
• A $100 non-refundable application fee is required when applying for a specific term, which can be paid by credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or a reloadable credit card at the end of the application.
• After submission, the Undergraduate Admissions Office will review your application. If you have accurately completed your application and are eligible you will receive an offer of admission. Once you have accepted your offer of admission, you will receive instructions on how to activate your NetID (see below), and Smith Engineering will contact you regarding course registration.
• Normally as a condition of offer, your current post-secondary institution must submit your Letter of Permission before the end of the academic term for which you will be enrolling at Queen's.

Note: Enrolling in additional terms at Queen’s requires a new Letter of Permission and a separate application. Applications and approvals are term-specific, so plan accordingly.
