How to Apply

Applicants Applying to Laurier Only

Laurier's part-time application form is for applicants who wish to study part-time and who are only applying to Laurier. Use Laurier's part-time application form if you:

• Qualify for consideration under the mature student admissions policy.
• Want to enrol in academic courses for professional upgrading or personal interest.
• Are a senior citizen or current Laurier staff member.
• Want to audit courses (take courses without credit).
• Just want to study part time rather than full time.

Applicants Applying to Laurier and Other Universities

If you are applying to more than one university, you should apply as normal through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) using the Undergraduate Application. You can indicate on your application that you are applying for part-time studies.

Using the OUAC to Apply

For either application method, you will be required to create an OUAC account (if you do not already have one). You may have only one OUAC account and can recover an old account through OUAC if necessary. If you have questions about your account or the application process, send your inquiries directly to the OUAC.

Apply to Laurier for unclassified or post-degree studies.

After you are admitted to the university, you must get permission from the faculty to audit courses. You can contact Service Laurier for help with this process.

Request for Re-Registration

You will need to request re-registration if you had a lapse in registration at the university for 18 months or greater or if you attended another postsecondary institution since your last registration at Laurier.

Changing or Updating Your Program

Undergraduate students can make changes to their program, request registration time tickets, transfer to a different Laurier campus, and request to switch from part-time to full-time studies.

Students Required to Withdraw from Laurier

If you were required to withdraw from Laurier, you can request readmission 12 months after the date you were required to withdraw. Readmission is at the discretion of the faculty and is not guaranteed. Academic upgrading is required.

Lazaridis School of Business and Economics students are not eligible for readmission. You can apply to be readmitted to another program at the university.

The Strategies for Academic Success (SAS) program is available for any student that has been required to withdraw as a method for readmission to Laurier.

Cross-Registration (University of Waterloo Students)

University of Waterloo students are able to take courses at Laurier through cross-registration. Follow the instructions on Laurier’s Enrolment Services: Cross-Registration with UW webpage.

Letter of Permission

You can request to enrol in Laurier courses to count towards a degree that is being taken at another university by obtaining a Letter of Permission from your institution. Follow the instructions on Laurier’s Enrolment Services: Visiting Students webpage.
