The GDip is completed over any 2 consecutive terms (8 continuous months): i.e. fall and winter terms; winter and summer terms; or summer and fall terms. Its requirements include any 5 courses offered at the 800 level (except AGHE 898).
Students who successfully complete the GDip in Aging and Health can be considered for advanced standing in the MSc program. Those wishing to enter the MSc program following completion of the GDip program must apply directly for entry into the MSc program (and pay the applicable application fee). In order to be accepted with advanced standing, the application must be made to the MSc program within 5 years of completion of the GDip program. Once accepted, the student will complete the outstanding requirements, which could be up to three additional courses (dependent on GDip courses taken), plus a project course (AGHE 898), provided there have been no substantive changes in the MSc program requirements in the intervening years.
