For general counseling and information, continuing education students (non-degree) should contact the Director of Continuing Education, Gail Carr at 535-2228.

*The University reserves the right to restrict registration to those who can demonstrate the completion of the above requirements and to withdraw a student who upon request fails to provide proper documentation or who demonstrates unacceptable performance once enrolled.

Prerequisites

Certain courses carry prerequisites for registration, which are listed in the course catalog. It is the student’s responsibility to have met the prerequisite listed or its equivalent. If you aren’t sure if you are eligible to register for a course, please contact Gail Carr. Instructors are authorized to request a student to withdraw if the student is not adequately prepared.

Audit

If you want to take a course from the regular schedule for your own interest or development but not for credit, you may register to audit a course. You will not be required to complete the normal class requirements and you will not receive a grade. An auditor pays one-half of the course tuition plus the mandatory fees per credit. Exceptions are skill, studio and professional courses, for which full tuition is charged.
