Grouped Study Courses
Grouped study courses, the University's term for traditional classroom study, appeal to those who enjoy the discipline of a schedule and the support of other students and an instructor in a classroom setting.
Grouped study courses generally last four months for three- or four-credit courses, or eight months for six-credit courses, and are delivered in classrooms at collaborating institutions.
These courses follow study schedules and timelines associated with traditional university semesters; for example, students who begin a course in September will finish it in December. The official start and end dates match regular semesters. Students in grouped study courses are not eligible for course extensions.

Registration Deadlines
Year-round registration is not available for grouped study courses because of scheduling restrictions. The courses are generally offered at selected sites and times, and availability depends on the number of registrations. Learning resources are generally distributed to students at the first group session. Not all courses identified as grouped study in this Calendar are available every year. Students registering in Athabasca University courses that are offered at another institution may have different fees and regulations. Please consult the collaborating institution that offers the course.
