If you would like to register for courses听at the School of Continuing Studies听without being admitted to a program, you may register as an听independent (special) student.
As an independent student, you may take a limited number of courses, providing you meet admission requirements.
If you have applied to a program but have not yet received your acceptance letter, you may also register as an independent student in the interim, if you meet the admission requirements for that program.
As an independent (special) student, you can take regular credit or non-credit courses, but they will not count towards a certificate, graduate certificate or diploma. No certificates or diplomas are issued to independent students.
When you register for a course, it does not mean that you are automatically accepted to the program. To be admitted, you must first meet all admission requirements.
If you plan to use courses towards a certificate or diploma, you must apply for admission into the program before completing four (4) courses. For graduate certificate programs, you must apply before completing two (2) courses.
Course(s) completed as an independent (special) student prior to admission to a program will be considered when reviewing your application. However, the School of Continuing Studies is not obligated to recognize these credits.
If you want to be admitted to a program but missed the deadline, you may be able to register as an independent (special) student. We听strongly听recommend you then apply online to the program of your choice and submit all required documents before the next application deadline.
Independent students, although not formally registered in a program, are expected to demonstrate seriousness of academic purpose.
