Special Students - Non-Degree Status

Special students are those who are enrolled in graduate level courses without being enrolled in a degree program. Special students are limited to a maximum of two (2) courses per term (6 credits), with a cumulative maximum of twelve (12) credits.

This Department can only consider applications for those wishing to follow graduate level Experimental Medicine courses. Those who wish to take graduate level courses given by departments other than Experimental Medicine must approach the department(s) responsible for the course(s) in question.

Acceptance as a Special Student does not guarantee acceptance into our programs, irrespective of the mark(s) achieved in the course(s) taken as a Special Student, and any Special Student wishing to be considered for one of our graduate programs must apply for it specifically. In the event that a Special Student earns admission into one of our graduate programs, the Department is not obliged to recognize credits earned as a Special Student towards the completion of the degree.

Eligibility

Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of Canada. They must have successfully completed an undergraduate degree in the biomedical sciences, with a minimum cGPA of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0.
