NON-DEGREE STUDENT

Do you wish to take a course or two but not commit to a program? Why not enrol as a non-degree student?

non-degree student is a person who is allowed by the University to register for undergraduate or graduate courses to obtain university units (credits), but who is not seeking a degree from Saint Paul University; without being subject to the requirements of a particular program.

As a non-degree student you must follow the same regulations as regular students, such as attendance, assignments, exams, passing grade and deadlines.

The complete academic regulation and definitions of the different non-degree students categories can be found under academic regulation B-1 Categories and status of undergraduate students and the academic regulation C-1.1.3 non-degree students.

Note: In the event that non-degree students later apply for admission to a master or doctorate program, they may receive credits for a maximum of two graduate three-credit courses provided they have successfully passed the courses and meet the admission requirements. For graduate diplomas, the maximum is set at one graduate three-unit course.
