General Interest Students
Interested in taking a course or two at KPU? No problem! KPU provides General Interest students the opportunity to complete up to 12 credits of undergraduate coursework without applying to KPU. The General Interest option is for non-credential-seeking students. Students who intend to complete more than 12 credits, should contact the Future Students' Office or Office of International Recruitment & Admissions to begin the admission process to KPU. Former students who wish to resume their previous studies should contact Academic Advising to discuss the process for re-applying.
Registration for General interest begins on the first day of classes, is only active for one term, and limited to 4 undergraduate credits per term (to a maximum of 12 credits overall).
Here are your next steps:
- Choose What Course You’ll Take
Look at the class schedule to check availability of the course you are interested in completing. There is no guarantee of getting into the course, so continue to check registration regularly.
To register, you'll need to meet course pre-requisites through previous study, relevant experience or instructor permission. Permission is at the discretion of the instructor. If permission is not granted, you must select another course.
Courses with program restrictions or reserves are not accessible to General Interest students.
- Submit the General Interest Registration Form
Access the General Interest Registration form online. Students may submit their completed form beginning on the 15th of the month prior to start of term (ie. August 15 for Fall classes), until the published Add/Drop deadline.
Submit the completed form to studentinfo@kpu.ca or any Student Enrolment Services (SES) office for processing. Once SES has processed your form, you will be emailed with your student log in credentials.
- Log in to myKPU and Register
Registration access will begin on the first day of classes. Log in to myKPU with your student email address and password.
Please refer to the Registration website for registration instructions.
- Pay your Tuition and Fees
Once you register in your courses, you must pay both the tuition fees and all related student fees by the fee payment deadline. Log in to myKPU, and select Make a Payment > Account Summary to view your account balance.
General Interest students are held to the same policies surrounding registration and tuition as admitted students of KPU.
