a special student (you already have a degree)
in a Certificate program without a degree program
planning to be “undeclared” (i.e., to not be in a module like a Major). This is a situation to avoid if possible.
in a concurrent degree program (i.e., in a professional degree and a B.A. undergrad degree at the same time)
a re-registrant (you have voluntarily taken the last year/s off)
seeking admission to the Bachelor of Social Work Honors program (see next slide).
