The University Studies program assesses all applications on the basis of whether applicants have demonstrated a reasonable probability of academic success, as shown by previous educational history, relevant life experiences, writing abilities, clear educational goals and evidence of motivation. Generally, students who wish to enter this program must have: High school diploma or equivalent OR mature student status - 60% in English 30-1 (English 30) or 70% in English 30-2 (English 33) or an assessed equivalency. Be deemed by the admissions committee (program advisor, program tutor, director) to be an exceptional case as evidenced by a strong commitment to an educational or vocational goal and a demonstrated reasonable probability of academic success.
The program is offered using a mix of distributed delivery strategies. These include: computer conferencing; video conferencing; self-directed study; instructor led face-to-face classes; and on-site tutorials. University students benefit from small class sizes and individual tutoring in each subject. Classes are usually scheduled in three hour blocks once per week and will run at selected sites using delivery technologies as student numbers warrant.
