This following information applies to all programs within the School of Continuing Studies.

Undergraduate Courses

Undergraduate Courses

The majority of undergraduate courses at the School of Continuing Studies are open to the general public. Anyone over 18 years of age can register. If you are under 18 years of age, you may register on the condition that you have already completed your DEC (Dipl么me d'脡tudes Coll茅giales).

If you are interested in taking courses without necessarily committing yourself to completing a degree, diploma, or certificate, you may do so by registering as an 鈥淚ndependent Student鈥�. To do so, students need to have the required prerequisite qualifications for the course and meet the admission criteria.
Note: The number of courses an Independent Student may take is limited. Students are encouraged to apply to a program before completing four (4) courses. The School of Continuing Studies has no obligation to recognize credits earned by Independent Students toward completion of a certificate program.
