Time Commitment

A standard course load is five courses per Fall or Winter term, though full-time status can be maintained with a minimum of three courses per term.

For students enrolled in the condensed Spring 2026 (May to June) or Summer 2026 (July to August) terms, we recommend taking no more than two courses per term due to the accelerated format. However, students beginning the program in the Spring term will need to enrol in a minimum of three courses in order to maintain full-time status.

Please note that taking fewer than the standard course load will extend the time required to complete your program.
