A Letter of Permission, often referred to as an LOP, is an official letter of approval issued by your home university. The LOP allows you to take courses for credit at the University of Toronto for a specified session to transfer the credits back to your home university for the purpose of completing an undergraduate degree.

WHAT SHOULD YOUR LETTER OF PERMISSION INCLUDE?
1. Your LOP should indicate the University of Toronto course code and title of each course your university has given you permission to take (i.e. ANT100Y1-Introduction to Anthropology). It should also indicate that the courses are to be credited to your degree at your home institution.

2. You should request your Letter of Permission as early as possible. You are allowed to submit a new LOP if you decide to enrol in additional courses after you have been admitted.

3. Your LOP should include your name and the academic session in which you want to take courses (i.e. Summer 2012). Remember, you must obtain and submit a new LOP for each session.

4. It is strongly recommended that your LOP list more courses than you intend to take, to give you more flexibility when it comes time for course enrolment.

5. Visiting Students may register only in courses listed on their LOP. Visiting Students may not repeat a course that they have previously passed at their home university or in a previous session at the University of Toronto.

6. Your LOP should be forwarded directly from the issuing institution by mail or fax to:
