Important Notes – Summer 2013

  1. We strongly encourage you to submit a complete Independent Student Application by Monday, June 10, 2013 if you plan to register for courses in Summer 2013. We cannot guarantee that applications received after that date will be processed in time for you to begin this summer session. Complete application means that in addition to the application form you have submitted all of the documents required for your file to be assessed.

  2. International Students are only eligible to apply for independent studies if they are already in Montreal. International independent student status is not intended for foreigners applying from abroad since this status may not enable them to obtain the required Study Permit and CAQ to study in Canada.

  3. Before registering for courses, all new Independent students must take an online assessment. Once you have submitted your application to become an independent student and received a student ID number, please go to the Student Transition Centre website and follow directions under ‘Learning Skills Inventory’. Your registration will be blocked until this has been done.

An Independent Student is a student who is not in a degree program, and is registered in undergraduate credit courses, normally on a part-time basis. Typical Independent Students may be interested in taking courses for general knowledge or job-related purposes. Others may be interested in specific subject areas or may take courses to "test the waters" prior to applying to an undergraduate degree program at the university.
