The majority of our courses are open to everyone—no previous university experience is required. Some exceptions include the Additional Qualification courses which are open only to teachers registered in good standing with the Ontario College of Teachers, and the Diploma in Social Responsibility & Sustainability, which has educational and professional requirements for admission. Where application requirements apply, this information will be displayed on the course page.

Fees vary depending on length and format. They are listed on each course page.
Courses within the Diploma in Interfaith Dialogue are universally priced at a significantly reduced cost thanks to the generosity of Scarboro Foreign Missions. Seniors and St. Michael’s alumni receive a 15% discount on selected courses. Courses may also have Early Bird pricing deadlines. Each course page will outline how to access available savings.
There are bursaries and other avenues for financing the Diploma in Social Responsibility & Sustainability, more details can be found on the website.
