  • Students must complete a Letter of Permission form and have it approved by their Faculty Advisor. 
For non AST students looking to take a course at AST as a Letter of Permission student:

AST welcomes students from other universities who wish to take one or more courses at AST and apply those credits toward their degree programs at their home university. Students must obtain a Letter of Permission from their educational institution authorizing registration at AST. The Letter of Permission must be attached to the required LOP Student Information form.

For additional information, or if you have questions about textbook lists, please contact the Academic Office at astacademic@astheology.ns.ca.
