Visiting students

Students currently studying at a University outside of Quebec in an Engineering or Computer Science Program and who would like to take courses at Concordia University must get prior approval from the Student Academic Services Office of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science.

To evaluate your request, please send us the following information:

2. A letter from the Program Advisor at your home institution indicating the courses that you are approved to take;
3. A complete Visiting Request Form;
4. A copy of the first two pages of your passport;
5. Scores of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or University of Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) are to be sent directly by the examination board. Concordia University's institution code is 0956.The minimum acceptable score for IELTS is 6.5 and the minimum acceptable score for TOEFL is (550 for paper-based, 213 for computer based, 75 for internet-based test.

Approval as to whether or not the courses can be taken will depend on receipt of the above items and whether or not there is sufficient space in the courses in question. Priority is to Concordia Students requiring the courses for their current program of study. For this reason it is important that all requests be submitted at least 4-6 weeks prior to the beginning of term.

Please note that submission of a Visiting Student form directly to the Office of the Registrar without prior Faculty approval does not guarantee that you will be allowed to take courses in the Faculty.
