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

    In addition, the Office of Continuing Education is
responsible for developing and supporting a wide range of
certificate programs, seminars, workshops and conferences. These
learning opportunities are built on the strengths and interests
of the university's faculty and are designed to meet the needs of
local, national and international communities.

    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 Part-Time Studies and
Continuing Education 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. Call or write:
