Non-Degree Studies

Non-Degree Studies provides study options for individuals wishing to take UBC credit-based courses without pursuing a UBC degree, diploma, or certificate.

Non-Degree Studies is an option for you if you meet one of the following:

• You want to take courses for general interest.
• You want to take a course for professional upgrading or academic advancement.
• You are completing an undergraduate degree at another institution.
• You have already completed a degree.

If you would like to take courses at the UBC Okanagan campus, please contact UBC Okanagan Non-Degree Studies.

The admission process differs based on your academic background. However, you can follow these steps for all 3 types of Non-Degree Studies.
