MEd Degree Requirements
We recommend that M.Ed. students review the M.Ed. degree requirements prior to registering for a course.
Students admitted to the M.Ed. program prior to September 2010 may follow the previous MEd degree requirements or follow the current M.Ed. degree requirements. The previous and the current MEd degree requirements may not be combined.
Current M.Ed./Ph.D. Course Schedules
Students are required to have regular and unrestricted access to a reliable high speed internet connection and unrestricted access to the resources for online courses.
Part-time students admitted to the M.Ed. program after the 2013/2014 academic year may enrol in ONE course each term or session. Part-time students admitted to the M.Ed. program PRIOR to 2013/2014 may enrol in TWO courses each term or session.
Please review the Important Dates and Deadlines Schedule for course withdrawal dates for all MEd/PhD students and tuition refund dates for part-time students.
Please check our online bookstore for all required textbooks and/or coursepacks. Textbooks and coursepacks are required for the first day of onsite and online courses.
Waiting Lists
Please review the Nipissing University policy on course waiting lists.
If you are on a waiting list for a course(s), WebAdvisor will contact you via your Nipissing University e-mail account if a position in the course(s) becomes available and you are next on the waitlist. From this point, you will have 72 hours to enroll in the course. If you do not enroll in the course within the specified time, without further notice, WebAdvisor will remove your name from the waitlist and offer the position to the next student on the waitlist. No student will be offered a vacant position who is not on the waitlist.
PLEASE NOTE: You may place your name on more than one waitlist. You may be enrolled in a course and place your name on one or more waitlists.
