  • These are non-academic courses. The Continuing Education Program has the right to determine if an applicant is accepted into a program or workshop.
  • In Certificate Programs, certificates are awarded on the basis of participation only.
  • Certificates are not awarded for completion of workshops. A letter confirming your participation and completion of the course will be provided.

Registration fees

  • Payment must be received (or postmarked) by the early registration deadline to qualify for the early registration rate.
  • Continuing Education is exempt from taxes.
  • Payment in full is required to guarantee your space in CE workshops and certificate programs. You will not be guaranteed a space without the registration fee. 

Group rates 

  • Registration of five or more participants, mailed in the same envelope, will receive a 10 percent discount (this policy applies to workshops as well as online courses).
