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

    In addition, the Office of Continuing Education is responsible
for developing and supporting a 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). Students may
register in Distance Education 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 50
Distance Education courses that are available.  Summer Session 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 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 information regarding
course offerings twice each year. The Fall/Winter Courses Offered
publication is distributed in June, and the Spring/Summer Courses
Offered publication (detailing Spring Term, Intersession and Summer
Session) is 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:
