Continuing Education enables students to pursue part-time study toward a college degree, or continue their learning to achieve personal or professional enrichment.

Banking Credits:  Part-time students who do not wish to pursue studies toward a degree may enroll as non-matriculated students.  Any credits earned will be “banked” until the students have been formally matriculated.  Upon matriculation, any credits earned by the students which are applicable to their degree program will be counted.

It is recommended that part-time students who intend eventually to matriculate receive advisement on course selection from the chair and/or  faculty of the academic division in which they plan to pursue a degree.

Part-time Students:  Individuals may be admitted formally as matriculated students to the University’s degree programs for part-time study if they meet admission requirements.  Non-matriculated students may register for non-degree credit courses, or  they may  take credit courses to earn a maximum of thirty credits as part-time students before being required to matriculate.

Matriculated part-time students, in good standing, enjoy:  assignment to   a faculty advisor, issuance of a University identification card, service on   University committees and participation in student activities (upon payment   of the Student Activity and Student Association fees).

Non-matriculated students may apply for matriculated status after earning   a minimum of 18 credits in degree courses with a cumulative grade point   average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.  These credits must include the general   education requirements in English composition and the general education   mathematics and science credits required by the degree they intend to   pursue.

Community Services provides training and instruction through workshops, seminars, and other non-degree credit offerings to individuals or specifically targeted groups.
