Requirements for Credit students

Application Deadline

A bachelor’s degree (any field of study) is normally required for any post-graduate degree program. Those lacking a bachelor’s degree may, however, make application and be admitted to the first year of a program with probationary status. If this is successfully completed, the student may finish the program regularly.

To be accepted, a student must be proficient in English (both written and oral).

Students in the certificate program, as well as those who wish to audit courses, may enroll in classes without any formal entrance requirements, but must be proficient in English.

For students wishing to audit courses, there is no application deadline. Space permitting, auditors will be admitted on the first day of class provided that payment arrangements have been made with the administrator.

For regular students, the normal application deadlines are:

September 1 for the Fall semester

January 15 for the Winter semester

Students are encouraged to make application as soon as practical. If you miss a deadline and are interested in taking classes, please contact the administrator about late applications.
