    Our schedule builder tool makes it easy to plan! (See your account.)

  • Non-credit Learners

    Continuing education classes are typically taken “just for fun” or to learn some new career skills. They don’t lead to a degree so no application is needed.

    View our Continuing Ed course options. You’ll need the 5-digit class number to register.
