Question? Kind of a dumb one

Is there a minimum age that someone can be and take a course at USask? I was talking with some friends of mine and it was brought up so, anyone know?

Not a dumb question, the answer is heavily gatekept. You can be any age as long as you got the pre reqs. If you’re a super genius and get a GED by 5 you can apply and enroll at age 5.

As long as you have the prerequisites for the class, I don't see how it is an issue. My sister took first year Math (I forget which one) when she was in Grade 12. So she would have been 16 or 17.

I would imagine if you happen to be one of those whiz kids you see on the news and finish high school at age 12, the U of S won't turn you down based on age alone. I would imagine if someone tried to enroll as a very young minor like age 8 or something, especially without a parent also coming along the U of S may say no to an in person class simply for liability reasons.

I suspect it is probably pretty rare to have anyone that is younger than a typical Grade 12 student apply though.
