RE: Permission Letter to Access Academic Standing

In order to be employed as a Qatar Foundation part-time paraprofessional staff member serving in the role of a
Community Development Advisor (CDA) in Qatar Foundation residence halls, I am required to exhibit good
academic standing at my university/center.

I ___________________________am requesting permission be granted to my potential employer, QF

Housing and Residence Life, to access my term and cumulative GPA for the fall semester 2009 and spring
semester 2010. Furthermore, this permission form serves for the academic year 2010-11. This letter serves as
permission to access academic standing information from a previous university/center prior to start of this
academic year.
