Do I need permission from my college or university to take a course with Athabasca University?
If you wish to obtain credit for a course taken at Athabasca University to fulfill program requirements at your home college or university, you should request a Letter of Permission from your home institution to ensure that the AU course credits will be transferable. This is for your own protection and is not a requirement of AU.
The Letter of Permission can be included with your course request or sent directly to AU's Office of the Registrar.
