Letter of Permission (LOP) to Undertake Studies at an Alternate Institution

Students wishing to complete courses at an alternate institution are required to complete a Letter of Permission (LOP) prior to enrollment.  You may use the BC Transfer Guide as a reference to see if it matches an equivalent course or rule at UVic.

Students are subject to the regulations of the University of Victoria governing academic standing and credit. Transfer credit is only awarded for courses completed successfully.  If credit for any of the course(s) listed above, or their equivalent(s), has been previously obtained, no further credit will be granted.  Grades are not transferred and will not affect your UVic GPA. Nonetheless, your grades from this institution will be used to calculate your UVic academic standing and may lead to be placed on probation or being required to withdraw.

Please complete and submit the below online Microsoft form.

You will be notified by e-mail when your request has been reviewed. If you do not hear from the department in 3-5 business days, please follow up.

Letter of Permission (LOP)

A Curriculum, Advising and Program Planning (CAPP) report is a degree evaluation tool that enables you to track your academic progress throughout your university career. Your CAPP lists the degree requirements and summarizes progress based on your academic record, showing how your completed, transfer courses and in-progress courses apply toward your degree requirements.  

For more information on CAPP: https://www.uvic.ca/students/undergraduate/academic-advising/index.php#ipn-degree-evaluation-report  

Your CAPP is linked to the year you were admitted and sometimes there is a disconnect between past and current academic calendars. If you notice a course(s) are misallocated, please explain the issue.

Please complete and submit te below online Microsoft form.
