Is there any mature student among you taking the pre-req courses part-time at York or other universities? If so, what is the acceptable part-time course load? I've faxed my letter to Deanna Lundmark. but in the meantime I'd like to hear from any mature student who has been in a similar situation. Thanks, Azin

Hello Azin,
I, too, had my degree (Graduated in 2011). I did have to come back to take some pre-req courses. I will warn you, there must be some extenuating circumstances as to why you choose to take your courses part-time (Not just because you have a degree do you automatically get to take courses part-time as a mature student). I took my courses full-time as a "mature" student.
I think something that would be more appropriate would be a work or a family commitment.. Ie, if you already have a full-time career that you need to do to provide for your family, fund your education, etc, this would be more appropriate for approval through the admissions committee.
I took my studies Full-time with a part time job (Of course, I don't have any dependents or other factors that would force me to work while studying).
Hope this helps
Kate

I graduated in 2013 and returned to do a full-time semester. I appealed to the admissions committee for part-time studies (due to financial obligations) but that request was not granted. I hope you have better luck than I did.

Thank you all for your reply. My case is a bit more complex though. I have a graduate degree and two years of work experience along with family obligations. Anyway, I presented my case and am waiting to hear back.

Guest3498 is right, you could look into the Grad cohort, but you still have to complete ALL the same requirements as the undergraduate applicants.
"Applicants through the graduate cohort must complete the necessary academic prerequisites and non-academic requirements (including necessary documents) as stated for all other Canadian applicants."
Good luck Azi

Unfortunately I can't. As my undergraduate and graduate studies were not in Science major but in Engineering.
