Students who wish to complete courses through post-secondary institutions other than the University of Regina should refer to the Transfer Credit Equivalency Guide before requesting a letter of permission from the Faculty of Social Work to ensure that the courses are transferable to the University of Regina.
A letter of permission must be requested in writing from the Faculty of Social Work Student Services Office. If permission is granted, we will send the letter to the host institution and a copy to the student. We require the following information from students requesting a letter of permission:
- The institution from which courses will be taken, and
- The specific courses to be registered in, and
- The expected date of commencement.
Please use the Letter of Permission Request Form.
Students should not take courses from another university if they are registered in 15 credit hours through the University of Regina. Fifteen credit hours per semester is considered to be a full course load. The Faculty of Social Work does not provide letters of permission for students who are registered in another faculty.
Once students have successfully completed courses taken outside of the University of Regina, they must request the institution to forward one official transcript to the University of Regina Admissions Office so official transfer credit can be given.
Please refer to the Residency & Transfer Credit policies in the Social Work section of the Undergraduate Calendar.
