Each course offered by Continuing and Distance Studies counts for degree credit in the same way as does the equivalent course offered during the day. Interested students should consult Continuing and Distance Studies for information on course offerings in the upcoming terms and sessions. Priority in programs and courses will be given to students who participate in the preregistration process (see Sessional Dates).

 

Degree Programs

Students may be able to complete a program leading to a B.A. degree with a minor concentration in some subjects by taking a combination of correspondence and evening courses during the Spring-Summer and Fall-Winter Sessions. Students wishing to take the minor concentrations in science subjects or programs leading to other degrees offered by the Faculty of Arts and Science will find it necessary to attend some daytime classes on campus during the Fall-Winter Session.

 

Admission as a Part-Time Student

Refer to the Admission Chapter of this Calendar for details on the criteria for being admitted to a degree program. Although the minimum requirements are the same for full- and part-time admission, the actual standing required for full-time admission is higher because preference is given to applicants with the strongest academic records. Part-time admission may also require that an applicant's academic standing be above the minimum outlined in the Admission chapter. Part-time admission is subject to availability of space in programs and courses in any given academic session or term. Applicants wishing to be admitted should access the Admission Services website at www.queensu.ca/admission for details and to obtain an application form.

 

Correspondence Courses

In each academic session a wide selection of correspondence courses is offered. By enrolling in a combination of correspondence and on-campus courses it is possible to complete the requirements for some degrees. Students may also take courses either on campus or via correspondence from another university for credit toward their Queen's degree. In order to do this they must obtain a Letter of Permission from the Arts and Science Faculty Office, F200, Mackintosh-Corry Hall. Queen's degrees require the completion of a minimum number of Queen's credits; see Academic Regulation27 of the Arts and Science Calendar, for information on how many courses must be taken through Queen's.

 

Priority for all courses, including correspondence courses, will be given to students who participate in preregistration. Students who do not participate in preregistration may add courses via QCARD (Queen's Computer Access to Registration Database) beginning 5 September 2006. In order to obtain all the course materials required for correspondence courses, students are strongly encouraged to register by 5 September 2006.

 

The courses listed below are those which currently form the correspondence program, although not all courses are offered every year. Courses currently under development may not be listed below. Details on which courses are offered in the current year and further information about each course are contained in the Continuing and Distance Studies brochures and by accessing www.queensu.ca/cds.
