How to register for an HSS elective as a non-student

If you are not currently enrolled as a student at Memorial, but you meet the criteria below, you can apply to Memorial and take a course in our faculty:

  • You are 21 or older
  • You have not registered for a course at Memorial in the last three semesters
  • You are not (immediately) interested inbeing admitted to a degree program.

You must apply under 1 of these 2 admission options:
  • Non-degree student 
    If you have never been a student at Memorial University
  • Non-current student
    If you have been a student at Memorial in the past, but it's been more than a year since you registered for a course.

Note: Non-degree students will be subject to the same academic and non-academic regulations as all undergraduate students at Memorial. Also, if there is a cap on the number of students a course can accommodate, preference will first be given to HSS students who have declared a major.

If you were a previous student at Memorial, your previous MUN Log In ID or @mun.ca email may work.*

If you are applying as a non-degree student, who has never had a MUN log in ID or @mun.ca email, you can create a MUN log-in ID here*

*Note: You will need your 7- or 9-digit Memorial Number to create a self-service account. You should have received your Memorial Number in the email you received after you applied to Memorial as a non-degree student. If you applied as a non-current student, your Memorial student number is the same as it was before.
