Auditors
To audit a university course, applicants must be admissible to a Nipissing degree program. Auditors must have completed prerequisite courses or equivalent for the courses they want to audit. Courses that are more practical in nature such as computer science, nursing, languages, music and fine arts are not open to auditors. Application forms are available from the Office of the Registrar.
Letter of Permission Applicants
Students enrolled at other recognized universities may apply and be admitted to Nipissing for purposes of transfer of credit to their home universities. Documentation required for admission is a Letter of Permission issued from the home university specifying the course(s) to be taken. Letter of Permission Applicants must apply directly to Nipissing for each term they wish to register for. The Letter of Permission must be received at Nipissing prior to the start of classes being registered for.
It is the responsibility of the visiting student to order an official Nipissing transcript to be sent to the home university after the course is completed.
Special Student Admission
The holders of recognized university degrees may be admitted as Special Students (i.e. non-degree) with the intention of taking courses for interest, upgrading, or for the purpose of meeting the requirements for a professional designation etc. Contact the Office of the Registrar for information.
