If you want to attend a continuing education course but not receive official grades, you must seek written permission to audit from the appropriate Program Coordinator no later than one week prior to the course start date. Program contact information can be found at the bottom of each program web page.

Such permission is given at the discretion of the Program Coordinator pending space availability. You may only audit courses that are part of an Extension Certificate or an externally graded professional designation. If you are auditing a course you may not submit assignments or complete examinations for grading. Once granted permission to audit, you may not change to graded status. You may, in succeeding semesters, register in any graded course which you have previously audited. Full course fees, payment deadlines and course withdrawal policies apply to audited courses. Permission to Audit form.

Most Continuing Education courses are for personal and professional development and are not eligible for university credits.

The Faculty of Continuing Education offers these program/course types:

Fees must be paid in full when you register through Continuing Education Registration (by phone, mail, fax, online or in person). Fees do not include course materials, unless otherwise indicated. GST will be added to course fees where applicable. Post-dated cheques are not accepted. NSF fees apply.

You can earn a certificate (or other credential) by successfully completing all required and optional courses in a program. You may choose to take individual courses that are part of a certificate or professional designation program without having to earn the credential. However, you must meet any requirements and prerequisites. Continuing Education also offers many individual courses that are not part of a certificate or other designation.

A prerequisite is a requirement for prior learning that you must meet before registering in specific courses. Course prerequisites are listed with the course description on the program website.

Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is a method of recognizing and accrediting the demonstrated knowledge that has results from prior work, academic and life experiences. For more information, see Prior Learning and Recognition application form

You should contact your RESP provider or Human Resources and Social Development Canada to determine whether your chosen program will qualify.

The Faculty of Continuing Education and Extension has business, industry and community partners who offer a number of annual scholarships and awards to continuing education students. Continuing Education Scholarships and Awards.
