PROGRAM PATH

An open admission category that allows a student to take courses toward an educational goal.  It is an option when entrance to a specific program is not available, or a student  has not yet met the program entrance requirements. The paths are intended to be temporary and students should pursue admission to a specific program as soon as possible.
