Non-credit Courses

Noncredit Fees
Professional Development courses: Fees are listed with each course. A portion of fees may be used to pay hosting expenses.

Noncredit Registration Requirements
Payment of the full tuition and fees and a completed registration form are required to register for noncredit courses offered through Extended Studies. Registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline for registration is one week prior to the start of class, unless otherwise specified in the course description. Registrations are accepted in the order received; if a course is full, you will be placed on a waiting list. Early registration is advised. Many classes are filled prior to the first meeting and have limited space. Courses are subject to cancellation if the minimum enrollment is not met.

Please note: The course you want may be cancelled if you delay your registration.

Method of Payment
You may pay your fees with cash, check, money order, company purchase order (third-party payment) or by VISA, Mastercard, Discover or American Express. All checks should be made payable to Board of Regents. Payment is due at time of registration.

Your registration is not final until it has been reviewed for completeness and your payment has been processed by our enrollment services staff. Once your payment has been processed, you will receive a confirmation letter verifying your official enrollment in the course. The confirmation letter will also contain specific information or any special instructions related to your course.

Financial Assistance
Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development may be available to eligible students enrolled in the university's Extended Studies courses.
