Continuing Education
Wilfrid Laurier University offers a wide selection of courses for part-time students at a variety
of locations during several instructional sessions.

    In the course of a year there are five points of entry for part-time students,
corresponding with the following instructional sessions: Fall Term (September to December),
Winter Term (January to April), Spring Term (May to August), Intersession (May to mid-June)
and Summer Session (July to mid-August). During these sessions courses are offered not only
in Waterloo but also in Barrie, Orillia and usually in several community locations in the
Waterloo regional area. Students may register in Telecollege courses available on TVOntario
during Fall, Winter and Spring Terms. Students may also receive on temporary loan their own
set of video tapes for the over 40 distance education courses that are available. Summer Sessions
may provide opportunities for studies abroad in such places as England, Italy, and the Near East.
Part-time students may also register for regular daytime or late afternoon courses at the Waterloo
campus.

    The range of courses offered at the several centres enables a student to
complete on a part-time basis all the requirements for the General Bachelor of Arts degree (BA),
Diploma in Business and the Certificate in Arts (I and II). It is not essential, however, that a
student work toward a degree. Courses may be taken for general interest, for self-enrichment,
or with a view to improving one's job qualifications or career prospects.

    At the Waterloo campus, a broad range of Business courses makes it
possible for part-time students to earn a university diploma (Diploma in Business
Administration or Diploma in Accounting) and/or to satisfy the academic requirements of
numerous professional designation programs. Courses taken in partial fulfilment of designation
requirements may be applied to diploma programs, and up to six half-credit courses in Business,
plus four half-credit courses in economics may be credited toward the General BA
degree.

    Students wishing to pursue a General Bachelor of Science degree (BSc) or
an Honours degree in an arts or science subject will usually find it necessary to register full-time
for one academic year or more. The Third Year of the Bachelor of Business Administration
degree (BBA) must be taken on a full-time basis.

    The Office of Continuing Education issues two Calendars each year: the
Fall/Winter Calendar, distributed in June, and the Spring/Summer Calendar (detailing Spring
Term, Intersession and Summer Session), distributed in February. The staff in the Office of
Continuing Education will be pleased to answer inquiries from prospective part-time students.
