The Extended Learning team manages all non-credit courses and educational offerings that fall outside of traditional university degree programs. These opportunities are available to both internal and external learners and encompass a wide range of options, including workforce development, continuing education, community engagement, youth programs, leisure learning, and micro-credentials.
Non-credit learning is the main category for opportunities through Extended Learning. Learners can select their preferences based on their own personal interests and professional development needs. These may be graded (pass/fail; attendance, etc.); however, there are no prerequisites or requirements to participate. Learners will receive digital badges and/or certificates of completion that are professionally recognized by Nipissing University and can be shared on social media and/or professional applications as evidence of the skills achieved.
These opportunities include community partnerships and professional engagement opportunities that are designed to be short and affordable. The Extended Learning team supports learners from start to finish and is available for any questions along the way.
Registration for non-credit extended learning offerings is made directly through the Office of Extended Learning.
Professional designation and Academic Continuing Education courses or programs are linked to academic faculties and provide learners with academic transcripts on Nipissing University parchment. These types of extended learning opportunities are graded and defined more conventionally. Minimum requirements or pre-requisites may be necessary for enrolment. Unlike Non-Credit Learning offerings, these opportunities may involve other professionals in other departments to service and support the needs of the learners.
Examples include Additional Qualification/Additional Basic Qualification courses and Post-Baccalaureate Diplomas and Certificates.
Registration for Professional Designation and Academic Credit courses are made directly through the Nipissing University Registrar’s Office.
