Visiting Student

York University will consider for admission individuals who wish to take credit courses, but who do not intend to complete a degree or a certificate. Visiting students are individuals who already hold an undergraduate degree, or are currently attending another recognized university and wish to take York courses on a Letter of Permission issued by their home institution.

Provisional Student

In very exceptional circumstances, the University will admit an individual on a provisional basis, for a period not exceeding one academic year (normally in anticipation of admission as a degree candidate). Such provisional status is granted at the discretion of the University and on the basis of the bona fide presentation of sufficient grounds to sustain a reasonable presumption of an applicant's ability to complete the requirements for a degree or certificate.
