Joint Undergraduate Degree/Diploma

York University students have the opportunity to combine a university degree program with a diploma/certificate program at a college of applied arts and technology in a variety of different areas. Students can only apply in upper years and enrolment is very limited.

Undergraduate Certificates

Individuals with appropriate preparation may apply for admission to complete an undergraduate certificate. Certificate programs offer students the opportunity to develop a specialized area of study, often within the broader context of a degree program. Please visit the Admissions Web site at http://www.yorku.ca/admissions for more details.

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 at York. 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 compelling evidence of an applicant's ability to complete the requirements for a degree or certificate.
