Individual courses

You can follow "individual courses" whether or not you are regularly enrolled. This type of enrollment is open to everyone, so you do not need to hold a degree to enroll in an individual course.

1. Passing exams for individual courses does not result in the validation of an academic year nor in obtaining a degree through the accumulation of credits. Any questions regarding the possibility of earning permanent credits in the context of subsequent enrollment should be addressed to the faculty. Passing an exam for an individual course allows you to obtain proof of success in the form of a transcript, provided by the faculty office.
    
2. Maximum 20 credits per academic year. Tuition fees (subject to change): €139.10 for the first 1 to 10 credits, then €13.91 per additional credit (20 credits = €278.20). Students must pay the full tuition fee on the day of registration and no later than 31/10 for the first semester and 28/02 for the second semester.
    
3. Registrations for courses starting in the first semester open on June 24 until September 30 (including courses starting in the first semester and continuing into the second). Registrations for courses starting in the second semester open in early January until February 15.
   Please note: the process of obtaining approval from course instructor(s) and the faculty may take time. Please allow sufficient time to submit a complete application before the deadlines.
    
4. Courses in the Health Sciences Division (Medicine, Dental Sciences, Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences) are not open to this type of enrollment. The same applies to internships and theses across all faculties.
    
5. To locate a course instructor, please use the search tool on our homepage or contact the faculty office to which the course is attached. We recommend checking the office hours of the relevant faculty via its website (or Google search). Course details are available on the «Course Offerings» pages.
    
6. Incomplete forms will under no circumstances be accepted and registrations are final. No modification is possible after the first session of the course(s) for which you have registered, and the registration fee is non-refundable. It is therefore strongly recommended to be certain of your choices before submitting your application.
    
7. A certificate of enrollment will be available via MonULB after activation of your access and payment (activation link sent after registration).
    
8. Enrollment in individual courses does not entitle you to a residence permit in Belgium. You must therefore hold a Belgian or European residence permit to enroll. It also does not grant access to social benefits (student work, family allowances, transport discounts, etc.).

Procedure and form

• You are a civil servant (accession): There is no predefined course list. All Master’s courses (minimum 4 credits) are open to this type of enrollment if you obtain the necessary authorizations, as described below.
• You are a regularly enrolled ULB student: Under no circumstances may you choose courses from the program in which you are enrolled, nor from a higher cycle.

Your registration in 4 steps

1^st step: The form

Print the form, complete it, obtain the necessary approvals, sign and date it. In case of simultaneous enrollment in several faculties, one form per faculty must be used, while respecting the overall maximum of 20 credits/year.

2^nd step: Authorization of course instructors

Authorization must first be granted by the instructors of each selected course. This can take the form of a signature on the form or written authorization via email, which must be attached to the form. Please note that the instructor’s name must clearly appear in the email.

Authorizations obtained via email must:

• be complete (request + response);
• be recent (maximum 3 months before submission of the form);
• clearly mention the course title and the instructor’s name.

The instructor’s authorization is subject to subsequent validation by the faculty office, which will verify funding eligibility.

3^rd step: Mandatory validation by the faculty office

The form must then be approved by the faculty office responsible for the selected courses. The office completes the section entitled «NRE» and affixes its stamp in the designated space before returning it to you.
Please note: refer to deadlines set by faculties.

4^th step: Finalization of registration + payment of fees

Only for new students enrolling in individual courses:
If you do not yet have a MonULB account, please first create your account. Once created, click on the link under the section "Special Enrollments - Individual Courses - Free Auditor", complete the application form and upload the required documents.
It is important to submit your application in one go, as adding additional courses will not be possible after acceptance of the first request.

Students already enrolled in individual courses in the first semester:
If you are already enrolled in individual courses for the first semester and wish to enroll in additional courses for the second semester, you should not upload the form online but send it by email to: cours-isoles@ulb.be.
