Access Studies

Access Studies is a program that offers flexible post-secondary learning options to people of all ages and backgrounds. Through Access Studies, professionals, distance learners, and people with varied academic curiosities have a new opportunity to pursue knowledge.

Access Studies students can enrol in university-level courses without registering in a degree program or undergoing the standard admissions process. Students take up to 24 credits in courses in areas of interest. These credits may be later applied to other programs of study. See Classification of Students for more information.

Other non-degree study options offered through Access Studies include Concurrent Studies, Aboriginal Access, and specific study options for Senior Citizens.
