Non-degree students are students registered in degree courses at UTSC, who:

• are not proceeding towards a University of Toronto degree or Certificate; 
  or
• have been admitted on an interim basis and who must meet certain conditions before admission as regular degree students.

Except for regulations concerning degree requirements and regulations where non-degree students are specifically exempted, all regulations apply equally to non-degree students and degree students. Where students have been admitted on an interim basis as non-degree students, the conditions of their admission supersede the normal regulations governing academic status. Students admitted as non-degree students are not permitted to enroll in UTSC programs. 

Non-Degree Previous Degree Students

A Non-Degree Previous Degree Student is an undergraduate alumnus of the University of Toronto (including UTSC) who has been approved to take credit courses in an academic session following graduation.

To become registered as a Non-Degree Previous Degree Student, an application is required by the deadlines set by the UTSC Office of the Registrar, before the beginning of each academic year. Registration is at the discretion of the Office of the Registrar and students will be subject to an application fee. Degree-seeking students will normally take priority in allocating space in classes and other resources.

Non-Degree Previous Degree Students are not associated with a Subject POSt (Specialist/Major/Minor), or degree program of study (e.g., Honours Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration), and are not permitted to enroll in programs after graduation. Any remaining uncompleted Subject POSts at the time of graduation will be purged during the degree conferral process.

Academic activities taken as a Non-Degree Previous Degree Student do not count towards Subject POSt or degree requirements; however, they do count towards the GPA.

Non-Degree Previous Degree Students pay tuition and incidental fees, as per the UTSC fee schedule.

Non-Degree Previous Degree Students are subject to the University of Toronto’s Code of Student Conduct.

Except for regulations concerning degree requirements and regulations where non-degree students are specifically exempted, all regulations apply equally to Non-Degree Previous Degree Students and degree students.
