registration : grades, transcripts, ceus

Many Continuing Studies courses are offered for academic credit. You should select either the credit or non-credit option for your class at registration. If you take a class for credit , your registration fee for the session will be $25 and you will receive a grade letter at the end of the session. If you choose the non-credit option for your class(es), you pay a $10 registration fee and will not receive a grade. Credit/non-credit status must be chosen at the time of registration, and may not be changed once made.

If you are enrolled in another program and want to find out if the credit for your course is transferable, please check with your registrar. Continuing Studies classes are not interchangeable with the BFA curricular requirements of MECA, and are not part of the GPACU Alliance cross-registration program. Adult program credits are defined as: 45 - 49 total semester hours earns one Continuing Studies credit; 22.5 - 35 semester hours earns .5 (one-half) CS credit.

Grades and Transcripts

If you take a course for credit, you will be mailed a grade report with the grade and number of credits earned. Credit courses are normally graded on a pass/unsatisfactory/fail basis. If you need a letter grade, please inform the instructor at the start of the course. Once grades are submitted by the instructor, no changes may be made. Official credit transcripts are available at no charge upon written request to the Continuing Studies Office.

Non-credit Classes / CEUs

Non-credit only classes are eligible for Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

One CEU is issued for ten hours of non-credit class participation. If you take a non-credit class and choose the CEU statement option (the only verification of attendance we provide), your registration fee for the session is $25. Your statement will be issued from the Continuing Studies office at the end of the session after your attendance and participation has been verified by the instructor. If you do not request CEUs, you will pay a $10 registration fee and will not receive a statement. The choice of CEU or non-CEU status must be made at the time of registration, and may not be changed once made. Grades are not given nor transcripts issued for non-credit classes. Classes offered for credit are not eligible for CEUs, and CEUs cannot be transferred into academic credit.
