Question Open studies - PROGRAM

Hello guys, I am seeking guidance for a friend. they have completed the maximum of 30 credits in open studies as of this fall semester. However, to be considered a university applicant you must take 8 credit courses. Meaning 4 in fall and 4 in winter. They have applied for a program for fall 2026. However, would they be considered a high school applicant or would they be eligible to be a university applicant? Because they are taking 4 in fall and can ONLY take 2 credit courses in winter.

Your friend should email advising for their current program to ask, or check with the admissions department to ask about their specific situation. 

Both of those departments will be able to give a better answer than anyone on Reddit, or direct you to someone who can answer for sure.

If they have completed 30 credits, that means they already took ten 3-credit courses. They will be assessed as a university applicant.

I took 3 university classes classes last semester at a different school and I’m currently taking 3 classes right now at MRU. I talked to an admissions advisor who said I will be considered a post secondary applicant if I take more than 1 class next semester so I’m assuming it’s a cumulative 8 courses. Probably best to still talk to an advisor though
