Open Studies

Open Studies allows you to take university-level credit courses from a variety of subject areas and disciplines, for: 

  • professional development
  • upgrading post-secondary qualifications
  • general interest

Through Open Studies, you can earn up to six credits in each term (typically two courses) without being enrolled in a program. 

Credits earned may be considered toward a future degree or diploma. To receive a credential, you will be required to apply, and be accepted, to a program.
