When your academic performance has demonstrated that you are set up for success, you will be eligible to take more courses at once. There are three different options that you can choose from, depending on your cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) and your personal study schedule.


  1. Guided Learning Path: This is our recommended learning path. You will take two courses per term to complete your program, providing that you maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.5 at an undergraduate level and 3.0 at a graduate level.

  2. Accelerated Learning Path: Feeling ambitious? You can enroll in three courses per term, as long as you maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 at the undergraduate level, and 3.5 at the graduate level.

  3. Personalized Learning Path: Sometimes life gets busy! With the personalized learning path, you can decide how many courses to take to suit you and your schedule. Finish your program at a pace that suits you as long as you meet assignment deadlines!


Please note that the course load eligibility also applies in reverse. This means that if you drop below the minimum required GPA for each course load, you will need to reduce the number of courses that you are taking concurrently. You will also need to keep in mind that you cannot take two courses at the same time if one of them is a prerequisite to the other.
