University of Guelph Students register for these as Distance Education courses. Others register through the Open Learning program. The Open Learning program is an open admission distance-only mode of study that provides access to degree-credit university courses for individuals who wish to study independently but are not interested in pursuing a degree at the University of Guelph at the present time. You may register in the Open Learning program, even if you are registered at another educational institution or program. The Open Learning program extends the academic resources of the University to those interested in personal enrichment, professional updating, or eventual application to a degree program.

Open Learning program students must complete the same assignments and examinations as those in degree programs. As a learner in the Open Learning program, you will have the same workload as a degree program student, and you will be evaluated using the same standards. Upon successful completion of a course, you will receive the same credit weight as someone in a degree program.
