Non-Program Student Status

Individuals who are not enrolled in an AU Centre for Distance Education program are permitted to register as non-program students in individual courses, space permitting.

New non-program students must complete and submit the CDE non-program student application form and fee (non-refundable), if applicable. This fee is required only once and is waived if previously an AU student.

Courses taken as a non-program student may also be applied towards CDE program degree requirements according to program regulations, if and when the student becomes a program student. The University is under no obligation to admit non-program students into AU CDE programs.

For more information on non-program status, contact the CDE office.

Non-Program Student Course Registration

CDE program students are given priority for course registration in each term. Non-program student registrations are then accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Course registrations are accepted up until two weeks prior to the course starts date. Please email the Centre for Distance Education office to confirm space in the MDDE course you are interested in and to receive the necessary manual course registration forms.

Refer to Course Regulations and Procedures for all other course-related information.
