GENERAL INFORMATION
The Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) links the University's resources to individual and group learning needs in the community.
The Centre for Continuing Education's mission is to meet lifelong learning needs by offering high quality, accessible, market-driven education and training programs to learners of all ages that build on the strengths and resources of the community and the University.
A wide selection of programs is offered in five general categories:
1. Certificate programs, credit and non-credit for adults seeking to upgrade their qualifications or pursue new career paths. Programs can normally be completed within two to five years.
2. Off-campus Degree-credit courses, which carry credit toward a University degree.
3. Conservatory of Performing Arts: Group classes and private instruction in music, dance, theatre, film and video and drama for children and adults of all ages.
4. Seniors' Education Centre: Learning opportunities on and off-campus, and applied research outreach projects in Saskatchewan and beyond.
5. Professional development-courses and seminars.
The Certificates Division of the Centre for Continuing Education provides formal, university-level education in a supportive environment which responds to the particular needs, challenges and diverse responsibilities of adult students. We offer expertise, resources and certification opportunities to adults who want to refine or enhance their professional skills, advance their careers, make successful employment transitions or pursue personal interests.
· Part-time study with no limits on completion time
· Classes are offered at a variety of locations on- and off-campus
· Daytime, evening and weekend classes
· Maximum flexibility for students
· No minimum education background required
Students must be admitted to and register through the CCE to enroll in a certificate program. Students who have been admitted to another faculty at the University of Regina may complete 50% of certificate program course work concurrently with a degree program through another Faculty. It is most important, however, to complete transfer arrangements at the appropriate time. Please discuss this with a member of the Certificates Division team, or refer to the Certificate Programs Calendar.
Please contact our General Office by phone at: (306) 585-5807; fax: (306) 585-5825, by e-mail at: certificates.division@uregina.ca , or visit our website: www.uregina.ca/cce/certif.
The Certificates Division has its own academic calendar which provides detailed information on our specific courses, programs and policies. Call, fax or email our General Office to receive a copy.
