Who can take continuing education courses?

(Engineering students see below)

Anyone can take a continuing education course.

Part-time degree students typically take a majority of their courses through The Chang School - remember to enroll through undergraduate career program, though!

Full-time degree students have to pay for continuing education courses in addition to their program fees.

Engineering students

For undergraduate degree students (whether on full or partial load) in Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Undeclared Engineering, or Computer Science, access to continuing education courses is by written approval from the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science. (Note: Part-time degree students in the Computer Science program will continue to have full access to continuing education offerings).

Courses that are completed through The Chang School without prior authorization from the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science, Associate Dean's office (or the Dean's designate), will not be credited towards students' degree program requirements.

Written approval is not required to enroll in a Liberal Studies course, Communication in the Engineering Professions (CCMN 432) or Principles of Engineering Economics (CECN 801). These courses, if taken through The Chang School, will be credited towards students' degree program requirements.

If you have any questions, please contact the Associate Dean's Office, Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science,

416-979-5000 ext. 4502.

Is there anything I need to know about enrolling in a continuing education course?

Students enrolled in a degree program and pursuing a Chang School certificate, should ensure that their course enrollments are within the appropriate career, otherwise all courses taken under the undergraduate career will be used automatically for their degree GPA, not their certificate program/CNED GPA. Courses taken as Undergraduate enrollments (cross-registrations) can be used to meet certificate requirements, but grades in these courses will not be included in students' CNED Career GPA. Calculation of a GPA for graduation in a certificate program will be manually calculated by the Curriculum Advising office prior to graduation and will be based on grades in courses applicable to the certificate's curriculum requirements.
