Existing Non-Program Students

As an existing CNHS Non-Program student, you are not required to complete the application process.

1. Go to Course Offerings to review the syllabus for your course selection.

Please contact cnhsgradadvise@athabascau.ca or call 1.800.788.9041 (ext. 6818) to request an exception. Access to courses will depend on availability with priority given to program students.
2. Review Centre for Nursing and Health Studies Graduate Fees. Ensure you include the appropriate Course Tuition fee as well as the Athabasca University Graduate Student Association (AUGSA) fee.
3. For those students taking a CNHS course through the Western Dean's Agreement, online registration cannot be completed. Refer to the second paragraph in Step 4 below. Note that the fully-completed and approved Western Dean's Authorization form must be received in the CNHS office by the applicable course registration deadline noted below.
4. Complete the online course registration—refer to Course Registration in the Program and Course Regulations. Ensure that you are aware of the applicable Course Withdrawal Regulations. If payment is being made by cheque, or money order, or a sponsor, then you need to submit both the course registration form and payment by mail.
