The Science Prerequisites for Health Professions (SPHP) online courses are for students who wish to enter a health professions program but may need just one or two courses to fill a gap in their transcript.
These courses are taken as needed and do not require students to be enrolled in an overall program. SPHP courses are self-paced and designed to be completed within 16 weeks.

You may enroll for a course at any time through the self-service registration portal. You must be registered for your class by 12:00 noon EST on the Monday before the class starts.
Your official start date is the date that the course opens and you will have 16 weeks from that date to complete your course. Please note payment is due in full at the time of registration. Online registration will remain open during holidays when the university is closed.
