Online open access courses are offered in each academic term and are available to undergraduate and graduate students, adult learners, students studying at other post-secondary institutions, and prospective students.

These courses are offered online in an asynchronous format which allows you to study at your own pace. You have 6 months from the term start date to complete your course.

Student guide

Course registration

Students must register for Winter 2026 courses on or before Jan. 16, 2026.

There is a $150 non-refundable/non-transferable online fee per course in addition to applicable tuition and fees. This fee is non-refundable once the add/drop date has passed within the term the course is registered in. Please note this fee will be automatically added and included in your term tuition fees. No further action is required when registering. Learn more about online course tuition and fees and methods of payment.

Current UNB students will use the UNB Student Planning and Registration system.

New to UNB students must first submit an application for admission to UNB. Once you have received notification of acceptance to UNB, you will be provided information on how to claim your account and next steps.
