Admissions

What does it mean to be an Interest Only Student?

An Interest Only student is someone who is taking one or more courses at RMCC without being admitted to a specific degree programme or certificate.

Applicants must also meet one of the following conditions:

  • Be an employee of the Department of National Defence (DND), or
  • Be a spouse of a member of the CF.

Individuals who have no affiliation with DND and who have successfully completed their high school studies or meet the general conditions for admission as mature students may also apply for admission through the Division of Continuing Studies (DCS), and may be accepted into an undergraduate programme of study at RMCC on an exceptional basis and provided there is space available in the programme of their choice and their admission serves the aims established for RMC.

Which courses can I take as an Interest Only Student?

There is no restriction as to which courses you may take as an Interest Only student, provided that there is enough space for your enrollment in the course and that you meet the pre-requisites of the course, should there be any.

Is there a limit to the number of courses I can take?
