Distance Education - Registration

 

Application Requirements:

Individuals not currently a student of Nipissing University who wish to take a distance education course through the Centre for Continuing Education must first apply to a specific program or apply as a special studies student.  Students who wish to register in courses towards the Bachelor of Commerce offered completely through distance education should complete the Bachelor of Commerce Distance Education Application form.  Students who wish to take courses while currently a student of another university should complete an Application for Part-Time Study (including a copy of their letter of permission from their current university) along with a Distance Education Course Registration form.  Students who wish to take courses after successfully completing a university degree should complete both an Application for Part-Time Study and Distance Education Course Registration form.

When to Apply:

Individuals can apply to the Bachelor of Commerce degree program offered through distance education at any time, however the application will be reviewed for the next applicable semester.  Applications (including official transcripts) are normally due approximately six weeks prior to the start date of the semester, however specific due dates can be found on the main page of our website.

How to Apply:

Individuals applying to Nipissing University must submit a completed application (including official transcripts kept in their originally sealed envelopes) to the Office of the Registrar.  When requesting a transcript, please ensure that it is mailed to:

Attn: Office of the Registrar

Nipissing University

100 College Drive, Box 5002

North Bay ON  P1B 8L7

Students who have previously studied through the Canadian Securities Institute (CSI) / Institute of Canadian Bankers (ICB) may have their transcript emailed from CSI directly to Nipissing University.

Course Registration:

All Nipissing University students, including off-campus Bachelor of Commerce students, should register online using WebAdvisor (accessible through MyNipissing).  For courses that indicate permission is needed prior to registering please email the Centre for Continuing Education directly ensuring to include the following information: your name, your student id, the course code, the semester the course is offered in, and why you wish to be registered in the course.  Note that students are responsible for ensuring the course can be applied towards their program and will meet all necessary requirements.

New students will receive instructions on how to register online upon acceptance to a program, alternatively please view our video tutorial. Before registering, students should compare their successfully completed courses displayed on WebAdvisor to their academic requirements in order to determine which courses they have left to complete.  Once determined students should then review the courses tentatively scheduled for the upcoming semester in order to decide what courses they would like to register in.

Students who have applied using an Application for Part-Time Studies should complete and submit a course registration form at the time of application.  Providing the student is successful in their application they will be registered in the courses indicated directly by the Office of the Registar.  Before applying, students should review the courses tentatively scheduled for the upcoming semester in order to decide what courses they would like to register in and ensure they have met the applicable course pre-requisites.
