Letter of Permission

Trent University students may study at another accredited university on a Letter of Permission (LOP).  An LOP allows students in a degree program at Trent to take courses at another university for credit towards their Trent degree. Approval is required for each course that the student plans to take.  Students from another university can also take credits at Trent on an LOP.
