Courses
You can enroll in a University course—whether admitted to a degree program or not—as long as you meet the prerequisites. There is a wide array of courses available, including many that are taught online, in the evening, or during the summer, and CCE offers many applied and professional courses as well.
Finding a Course

Course Term Lengths and Formats
Evening, on-campus courses follow the regular semester schedule.
Online and distance courses are either semester length (term-based) or nine-month terms (extended-term) and are delivered either via the Internet (online) or via printed materials (correspondence).
Please note: All ODL extended-term courses are available for undergraduate credit only.
