Distance Learning Program - Online

Nipissing University has a pathway for just about everyone!

Whether you are a graduate of post-secondary education, a working professional, newcomer to Canada or someone who has graduated from high school and would like the option to study from a distance or online, we have a pathway that recognizes your past education and professional credentials.

Nipissing University offers a Bachelor of Commerce (4-year) 120 credit degree and a Bachelor of Commerce (3-year) 90 credit degree that can be completed on a full-time or part- time basis. We also have 3 full semesters each year, allowing you to progress towards your academic goals as quickly as you wish to.

You will study through our online learning platform, Blackboard. You can choose to take a course delivered purely online, which will allow you the most flexibility to study on your own schedule or you can choose to take a course delivered SYNC (synchronous) online. This is a live streamed class, which is scheduled during the evening between 6-9pm between Monday-Friday. If you reside near one of our 4 college partners, Algonquin, Centennial, Lambton or St. Clair, you can choose to register for a course delivered on that campus. All scheduled classes run between 5pm-9pm, Monday to Friday. This program will not satisfy international student visa requirements, as it is predominantly an online program.
