What is Continuing Education?
Students who wish to take credit-bearing courses but have not applied for or been formally granted admission to a school or college at either the undergraduate or graduate level are also known as non-degree-seeking students. As a Continuing Education student, you may take courses for professional or personal development, to transfer credits to another university or college, or before applying for an undergraduate or graduate degree program.
