Enrollment Steps for Continuing Education Students
Continuing Education Student Admission Process
Continuing Education programs are professional development and personal interest courses that do not award academic credits but are eligible for Continuing Education Units (CEUs). CEUs is a unit of measurement that depicts the time spent participating in a noncredit continuing education program or course. These noncredit courses are short-term and are courses offered throughout the year.
If you are interested in taking a Continuing Education professional development program and/or personal interest course, you DO NOT have to apply and be admitted to the college to take these noncredit programs and courses. You will either complete a state-funded scholarship application form for the program of interest or self-register through the TTC Continuing Education Student Portal. Federal Financial Aid funds cannot be used to pay for noncredit courses.
