What is an unclassified student?

Unclassified students are enrolled for studies not intended to lead to a particular degree or diploma. Some unclassified students are taking courses for a certificate. Unclassified students should normally have a recognized degree.

How do I register for classes as an unclassified student?

Admission as an unclassified student does not guarantee that a student will be able to register for any course offered. Unclassified students may only register in a course with the permission of the faculty giving the course. Admission as an Unclassified student does not imply future admission as a regular student.

Unclassified students will not receive transfer credit since they are not in a program to which credit can be transferred. Students with a failed year in a faculty will not be admitted as unclassified until they have discontinued their studies for at least one year. After a second failed year admission as unclassified will be subject to the approval of the Senate Admissions Committee. Please refer to the UBC Calendar under Section 9 for regulations regarding unclassified students.
