Statut

Taking courses as an unregistered student can have many advantages:

• there are no prerequisites for enrolling under this status: you are not required to have received a diploma, passed an exam, or have a pre-existing corresponding level of knowledge;
• applying with a traditional application is not required;
• access to lectures (cours magistraux or CM) is open (within the limits of available spots): this allows for a better understanding of the discipline;
• access to university libraries is open: you can borrow documents, reserve study rooms, etc.;
• CVEC payment is not required.

This allows you to consider your future academic direction, compare program curriculums and disciplines, meet teachers, etc. before potentially choosing to enrol as a registered student.

Attention

An unregistered student does not have student status.

• they cannot receive grants or scholarships;
• they cannot have access to supports reserved for students (housing, student social security access, etc.);
• they cannot sit exams;
• they do not have access to all disciplines;
• they cannot take “Tutorial” ("Travaux Dirigés" or TD) or “Practicum” (“Travaux Pratiques” or TP) courses;
• they must ask for approval from the instructor responsible for the course.

Required documents

You must bring:

• one piece of ID;
• a registration form that has been filled out and signed;
• an authorization of enrolment that has been filled out, signed, and stamped by the faculty or department which organizes the UE.
