Home-Based Learner

What is a home-based learner?
You are a home-based learner if you have received your high school education through at-home schooling. The University of Regina offers home-based learners the following admission options:
A) A home-based learner may be admitted directly to the faculty if they obtain Adult 12 Standing through Saskatchewan Education. Such students must meet the regular admission requirement for their faculty of choice.
B) A home-based learner may be admitted to the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Media, Art, and Performance, Faculty of Social Work or the Centre for Continuing Education.
C) A home-based learner, age 18 or older, may be admitted as a casual student through the Centre for Continuing Education. Casual students may take only one or two courses per semester, to a maximum of 24 credit hours.
D) Home-based learners who are interested in competitive-entry programs such as education or nursing, or other faculties not listed above may be considered on a case-by-case basis and should inquire with Enrolment Services at 306-585-4591 or enrolment.services@uregina.ca.
