Do I have to come to campus for class?

We are pleased to announce that the Schools of Business Administration, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Social Work will be delivering courses with one of the following modes of instruction:

Blended

These courses are taught with a combination of in-person and virtual learning simultaneously. This classification is also often described using the term “hybrid.” For Booth UC courses, those terms can currently be used interchangeably. These courses have scheduled weekly classes that students can attend in a physical classroom or through Zoom. However, please note that the virtual options will differ across courses at the discretion of each instructor! This means there is not necessarily an automatic option to attend every class virtually. Course syllabi will provide details, and you can contact the instructor with any questions.

On Campus

These courses are taught in a physical classroom on the Booth UC campus with scheduled weekly classes. Some instructors might allow some flexibility in attendance (e.g., virtual attendance in the case of illness, occasional scheduled virtual sessions), but this is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of each instructor. Details are provided on the course syllabi, and you can contact the instructor with any questions.

Online

These courses, sometimes called “distance” courses, do not have mandatory scheduled class sessions. Course materials are distributed asynchronously, and coursework is completed on your own time.

Virtual These courses have scheduled weekly classes taught via Zoom rather than in a physical classroom.

How do I send my transcript when my school is closed?

The Admissions Team will accept digital copies of your transcript to make an assessment. A transcript will be deemed official if emailed directly to admissions@boothuc.ca from the issuing institution.

For applicants with a MyCreds account, you can share your digital documents with us by selecting the Share option “Send my documents to a registered organization” and then selecting the Booth University College in the Recipient field.

Am I able to attend Booth UC on a part-time or full-time basis?

Yes, students can attend Booth UC either part-time or full-time.

Can I take my program fully online?

Although our degrees are not currently available fully online/virtual, we are developing our capacity in this area.

Are there opportunities for funding available to students?

Yes! In addition to government funding programs, Booth UC has many scholarships and bursaries available. Please visit https://boothuc.ca/admissions/scholarships-financial-aid/ for details.

I need help with course selection. Who can I contact?

All admitted students are assigned a faculty member as an advisor to help them choose their courses. Please refer to your offer letter for more details.

How do I pay my tuition?

Payment can be made directly through your Populi account. If you do not have a Canadian credit card, you must pay via boothuc.flywire.com. Please connect with your Admissions Counsellor if you have questions.
