international student in non-degree admission?

Graduate School
1

<p>Hello guys. First post here.</p>

<p>I have searched the forum and internet but I am still confused.</p>

<p>I'm Canadian graduated from Univertsity of Toronto.
My GPA in my final 60 semister units is 2.75 (it can easily be bumped to 3.25 had I taken just 12 more units, but I'm travelling in Europe now so it's impossible).</p>

<p>Anyway, can anyone this question for me?</p>

<p>Can one apply for non-degree admission, taken a few courses, and transfer to a degree program?</p>

<p>If yes, the next question is, will the school apply the student visa for me?</p>

<p>I'd really appreciate anyone who can answer it.</p>

<p>cheers~</p>

<p>Yes, many universities have this option.</p>

<p>It depends on the university. In some cases not all of your courses will transfer.</p>

<p>I would guess not for non-degree registration but you'll want to contact the universities you are interested in. If you are taking a limited number of courses (less than 18 hours a week) it is possible you could do it on a visitor visa - check with a consulate for details.</p>
