Open Courses
Individuals not enrolled in IMPA's training programs may register as non-degree students.
Registration is done through the online system and the courses are free, except for those offered in the evening.
The subjects in IMPA's postgraduate courses may, at the Institute's discretion and according to technical availability, be offered remotely.
Whether or not to accept students from elective courses into remote classes each semester will be decided by each professor, who will also indicate whether external students will be evaluated as regular students. If the professor chooses to differentiate between them, grades P or F will be assigned to students from elective courses.
