Admittand FAQs

1. How much will it cost?

That depends on if you are taking the course as an Auditor or Special Status Student. An Auditor pays $250.00 CAD per audited course and is not charged student fees. A Special Status Student is taking the course for credit and therefore is charged regular tuition and student fees - see the Basic Degree Fee Schedule.

2. Is funding available from Emmanuel College?

Emmanuel College scholarships and bursaries are reserved for degree students and therefore Special Status Students and Auditors are not eligible.

3. Will I have a faculty advisor?

Yes, you will be assigned a faculty advisor to help with the selection of your courses.

4. Are any of the courses available online or at distance locations?

Emmanuel does not have courses available online or at satellite campuses. Our courses are offered during daytime and evening hours, on weekends and sometimes in summer intensives. Emmanuel College time tables and course offerings.

5. Why are the course descriptions housed on the Toronto School of Theology website?

Emmanuel College is a member of the Toronto School of Theology which is a consortium of seven theological colleges in the University of Toronto. The TST website houses the comprehensive database of all course offerings at TST colleges. Course codes that begin with "EM" identify an Emmanuel College course.
