Requirements

Students wishing to enrol in the graduate level architecture courses as a non-program student must hold a bachelor degree from a recognized post-secondary education institution. All persons applying for non-program status will be required to submit confirmation of successful completion of an undergraduate degree. Students are accepted into the non-program Graduate courses at the discretion of Athabasca University.

All materials for non-program student registration (including the application form and fees) must be completed in full and received one month prior to the course start date.
