Part-Time Study Policy

Request for Part-Time Study

The B.Ed. and B.Sc.(Kinesiology) programs must be followed only on a full-time basis. The normal course load for most undergraduate studies is 12-15 credits per term (Fall and Winter). If you carry fewer than 12 credits per term, you are considered to be a part-time student in that term. B.Ed. and B.Sc. students must take a minimum of twelve (12) credits per term (Fall and Winter) unless the Director of Internships and Student Affairs gives them special permission to be registered for fewer than 12 credits in a term (see “Part-Time Student Status”). Any absence or reduction in course load that may impact the regular progression of a student’s program must have written approval by the Director of Internships and Student Affairs. Special permission must be requested prior to the end of the Course Add/Drop period.Students must read the policy and complete the form here to request permission.

As of Fall 2024, the B.A. Education in Global Contexts program can be followed on a part-time basis (fewer than 12 credits in a term) without special permission, provided students do not exceed the degree time limit (see “Part-Time Student Status”).


Students who opt to study part-time are ultimately responsible for any impact their part-time status may have:
