You’ve come to the right place to plan your flexible learning studies. There are some key dates to keep in mind, including the web preview—where you’ll see offerings in advance—and the registration opening date.
Most part-time courses are term-based, starting the second week of January, April, and September. Exceptions may include:
- continuous intake courses
- non-credit courses or courses less than three credits
- one-day, weekend or compressed-time intensive courses.
Please note when is the start date for the term in which you would like to take courses. Most offerings have limited capacities and fill quickly, so you’ll want to get your registration in as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment.
