6.5. Registration Definitions
     
     
6.5.1.

Active Students

An Athabasca University student who continues to take courses and who does not allow his or her enrolment to lapse is considered an "active student." Students who complete courses on a Letter of Permission from Athabasca University also retain their active status.

As an active student, you can << Login >> to AU's online Course Registration Form.

Your << Login >> provides you access to all online student services provided by AU.


Changing Programs

Active students who wish to change from one AU degree, diploma, or certificate program to another must
<< Login >> on the Undergraduate General Application Form, and select the Change Program link after logging in. You will be required to submit a Change of Program Fee (also referred to as a reactivitation fee).

Students will fulfill the program regulations in effect at the time of their enrolment. Course work completed previously will be assessed toward the new credential.


Changing Status

Active students who wish to change from the unclassified status to an undergraduate program are required to complete a new Undergraduate General Application Form. No fee is required.

The Undergraduate General Application Form will ask whether the student requires an evaluation of previous post-secondary studies. A fee is required for this service if it wasn't submitted previously.

Students will fulfill the program regulations in effect at the time of their enrolment. Course work completed previously will be assessed toward the new credential.

 

6.5.2.

Inactive Students

An Athabasca University student is considered "inactive" if he or she does not register in a course:

1. within 12 months of the last course contract date or date of withdrawal; or

2. within 12 months of the most recent admissions entry term; or

3. on a Letter of Permission within 12 months of either of the above dates.

Students who complete courses at other institutions without first obtaining a Letter of Permission from Athabasca University, may be designated “inactive” and forfeit their enrolment status, and risk not receiving credit for the course.

To "reactivate" your status, refer to the following procedure.


Reactivating/Re-enrolling Status

To re-enrol, inactive students are required to

 

1. 
complete and submit a new Undergraduate General Application Form, and
     
2. 

Submit a Change of Program Fee (also referred to as a reactivitation fee or change of credential fee) before they continue taking courses.

Students are required to fulfill the program regulations in effect at the time of their re-enrolment. Course work completed previously will be assessed toward the new credential.
