Open Studies

Open Studies allows you to take credit courses from a variety of subject areas and disciplines, for:

  • professional development
  • upgrading post-secondary qualifications
  • general interest

Through Open Studies, you can earn up to six credits in each term (typically two courses) without being enrolled in a program. 

Credits earned may be considered toward a future degree or diploma. To receive a credential, you will be required to apply, and be accepted, to a program. Some programs, such as trades, do not allow students to take courses without enrolling in the program. Please consult a program advisor for available Open Studies courses.

Please note that International students are not eligible for Open Studies without an authorization form. Please contact Registrations & Records at registrations@yukonu.ca or call 867 668 8710 ext. 2, for more information.
