Who can take courses at Regent?
Students with a bachelor’s degree may take courses for graduate credit or for audit. Those who have not yet been admitted to the College may take up to 6 credit hours of courses per term as Unclassified Students, up to a maximum of 12 credit hours, before needing to be admitted. Those who do not have an accredited bachelor’s degree may take most courses for audit if they are at least 23 years of age, and may take courses for credit if they are at least 30 years of age.
How to Register for Courses
When you know which courses you want to take, use the enclosed Course Registration Form to register. If you need further information on any particular course before you register, please complete and send in the Request for Information Form or see the Course Information Sheets (posted as they become available on the Spring and Summer School course details pages). You may add, drop or change courses after you have registered, but you must do so in writing and there is a $10 fee for dropping a course.
Please fill in the Course Registration Form completely; incomplete forms will be returned. Personal information is collected in order to (i) provide educational services, (ii) process financial transactions, (iii) generate statistical information for Regent College (in order to plan and serve students more effectively), and (iv) maintain a relationship with students after completion of their studies through the External Relations Department and, where applicable, the US Foundation. Students who have concerns regarding any of the personal information being requested are encouraged to contact the Registrar.
For each course you wish to take, write the course number (e.g., BIBL 502), the course title (e.g., New Testament Foundations), the number of hours for which you wish to take the course (e.g., 3), whether for credit or for audit, the corresponding rate per hour (e.g., $446 per graduate credit hour), and the total charge for the course (e.g., 3 hours x $446/hr = $1338). (Note that credit means you will complete all assignments and will be graded; audit means you will attend the class for personal enrichment only and will not be graded.) If you wish to audit a course, you should register for the least number of hours for which the course is offered. Be sure to read the Student Contract on the back of the Course Registration Form. We advise you to keep a photocopy of this.
Once you have completed and signed the Course Registration Form, send it together with a $100 minimum deposit to the College. This will be applied to the tuition of the last course which you will take in the Summer Program. Course Registration Forms may be sent by fax if the $100 deposit is paid by credit card. When you register, a $35 non-refundable Registration Fee will be charged to your account.
Once you have been registered, you will be sent a Registration Statement, which includes a financial statement of your account. Students from outside Canada will also receive a letter of acceptance for obtaining a Study Permit (see below). Please allow three weeks for processing. Also note that registrations will begin to be processed after March 1.
You will greatly assist us by advising us promptly should you wish to change or drop courses (see the Student Contract for deadlines for course changes). Since all courses have a limited capacity, and courses with low enrollment may be cancelled, we strongly encourage you to register early to avoid disappointment and the last minute rush. Note that all students must be registered before attending any class.
Study Permits for Foreign Students
Regular students who are not citizens or permanent residents of Canada are required to obtain a Study Permit from Immigration Canada (current fee is $125) in order to study at Regent College, whether for credit or audit. A Study Permit is not necessary, however, for students whose course of studies lasts six months or less (e.g., if you are coming only for Spring and Summer School courses).
Students planning to stay longer than six months must obtain a Study Permit. Citizens and Resident Aliens of the United States may obtain a Study Permit at a Canadian port of entry; all other international students must obtain one from the Canadian Consulate in their country of citizenship.
Upon registration, Regent will send all students from outside of Canada a letter of acceptance which they will need to present to the appropriate Canadian immigration authority in case they do need to secure a Study Permit. Please note: whether or not you need a Study Permit is at the discretion of the Immigration Officers. For further information, see the Government of Canada website at www.cic.gc.ca.
