Studying at the university

Can I study on a part-time basis?

Please note that when the university refers to part-time, we are referring to course load and not course dates and times.

Each program has different study options. Most programs do offer the ability to complete them on a part time course load - meaning enroling in less than three courses per semester. A full-time course load is considered four to five courses per semester. For more information, please refer to your specific program of interest.

Which programs are available online?

The following programs are available entirely online: Allied Health Sciences, Educational Studies, and Facilitating Adult Learning with Technology.

What are the tuition fees for my program?

For more information on tuition fees, please visit the tuition and fees page.

Program-specific questions

I have a general business diploma and have been admitted to the Commerce program. Am I still able to specialize?

Students who enter the Commerce program with the above are not able to specialize and must enter the comprehensive stream. Students who enter the Commerce - Advanced Entry program may be able to specialize in the same program they graduated from in college or enter the comprehensive program.

I have not written my Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination (CPNRE). Am I still eligible to apply to the Nursing Post RPN - Advanced Entry program?

You are able to apply to the Nursing Post RPN - Advanced Entry program; however, we do require proof of registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) indicating that you are entitled to practice with no restrictions before you are able to attend classes in September. This must be submitted by mid-August at the very latest.
