Single Course Enrollment

Applying for status rather than applying for a course may seem unexpected, but it ensures you don’t miss out.

LLM students receive priority in course enrollment, and courses close to new registrations 15 days before they begin. Because it can take up to 15 business days to process an application – when SCE students apply for specific courses, we have to set a very early deadline and even still, it’s often the case that courses fill in the interim.

By applying for SCE (Single Course Enrolment) status first, you’ll only see courses that are actually available in real time.

You’ll also gain access to up to 12 credits over a full academic year, not just a single course in a single term, giving you more flexibility. You can even add future courses to your wish list, helping us plan additional sections if needed.

In short: once you’re admitted, you can view the full schedule and register for any open course without delay.

Our team will review your application for completeness and eligibility. We’ll be in touch if additional information is needed. Once we’ve confirmed your application is complete and eligible you will have non-

degree status and get access to course offering/selection information. Generally, it takes approximately 15 business days from the time your application is complete to the time that access is granted.

With your access you’ll be able to see one year of planned courses and will receive e-mail notification when enrollment opens each term.

Yes. If you take courses as a non-degree student and later enroll in an LLM or Graduate Diploma, you may petition for advanced standing to have those courses counted toward your program requirements.

It’s a formal request to apply non-degree courses to your degree or diploma. This involves two steps:

Step 1: Request approval in your first term Once you register in your LLM or Diploma program, let your Program Assistant know you’d like to petition for advanced standing. They’ll guide you through the process. Petitions are typically approved if:

1. You submit the request in your first term (late requests won’t be accepted)

2. The courses align with your program’s degree requirements

Step 2: Receive a tuition bursary at graduation If your petition is approved, once you’ve met all graduation requirements, the tuition you paid for those non-degree courses will be refunded as a bursary at the end of your program.

No – SCE students would not normally be eligible for OSAP. See here for more details.

No. Students can take a lifetime maximum of 12 credits as a single course enrollment (non-degree student). If you’re interested in taking more courses you should consider program options.
