2nd undergrad degree

[Angelia]

You can do random courses at Athabasca (AU). One thing to be aware of: you're not a full time student at AU even if you do 10 courses in 8 months. Might be an issue with some adcoms so check first depending on where you want to go. AU is very good and, as noted, good transferability with Alberta U.s and UBC.

 

What do you mean you can never be a full time student at AU? Why not?

What do you mean you can never be a full time student at AU? Why not?

 

I think that the poster might have been mistaken for being a full time student at Athabasca as it is possible. Here is the statement found on the website describing how to be a full time student at Athabasca.

 

Full Time Student Status

 

Funded students receive a shortened contract for their courses. Three-credit courses are shortened to four months (instead of six) and six-credit courses are shortened to eight months (instead of twelve). Full-time requirements state that you must be registered in a minimum of sixty percent of a full course load or nine credits over four months for one semester or eighteen credits over eight months for two semesters. All courses in a semester must have the same start date.

 

To maintain full time status, your must successfully complete at least 2 credits per month or 9 credits in any four month registration period. If you do not meet the minimum completion requirements, we may recommend to your funding agency that funding be discontinued.
