When appropriate, Continuing Education programs can be offered for credit as a means of encouraging enrollment in our programs. However, many specialized offerings are only suitable for noncredit and these may be equally valuable to our constituents. The mechanism for award of academic credit will be discussed with DCE on approval of program offering. All continuing Education proposals must be approved by the appropriate department chair and associate dean. While the goal of Continuing Education is to provide access to excellence for community based programs and professionals in the field, programs must be revenue generating in order to assure increasing support and quality enhancement.
Supplemental compensation is available to faculty in both credit and noncredit formats.
Procedure Continuing Education programs may be university, college or department sponsored. All programs must have the approval of the department chair of participating faculty and Associate Dean. The Department Chair must approve the completed CE packet. The completed CE packet will be reviewed by the Associate Dean and Assistant Dean for Academic affairs for project budget and curriculum, respectively. The CEC will initiate the meeting with DCE and faculty to finalize the contract.
