Once you determine the correct department at the college you are interested in, ask the staff person for a catalog describing their programs. A catalog will answer many questions about the college and whether they have the programs and courses that are right for you. At Assumption College, the Center for Continuing and Professional Education is the department that is responsible for all adult students taking evening courses. Adults who wish to attend day classes should contact the Admissions Office for their catalog. You may register for as many or as few courses as your schedule allows.
Most colleges are very flexible when it comes to adult students.
At Assumption College, most of our adult students take one or two courses per semester. Some colleges may have a policy concerning continuous enrollment, however, many will grant a leave of absence if you need one. Most adult students are balancing work and family and will find that they cannot attend every semester once they begin a degree program. At Assumption College we understand that this is a common occurrence. At Assumption College there is no time limit on completing your degree through the Center for Continuing and Professional Education.
