CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES

A student who wishes to take a course in Assumption’s Continuing Education Division or through any other accredited institution during the regular academic year, intersession, or during the summer must present a course description and particulars to the Chairperson of the Department and the Office of the Registrar for authorization. This must be done prior to registering for the course. During any six-week summer session, a student is ordinarily authorized to earn credit for no more than two courses (i.e., not more than six semester hours, or in the case of laboratory courses, eight semester hours).

Once the student has enrolled in the undergraduate day college, a maximum of four courses taken during the academic year, during the summer at another accredited institution, or through Assumption’s Division of Continuing Education may be used to satisfy degree requirements.

A maximum of two of these four courses may be taken for the purpose of satisfying the General Education requirements, subject to the usual departmental approval certifying equivalence by the Department Chairperson to a General Education requirement offered in the undergraduate day college. The College will approve the taking of certain courses off-campus or through the Continuing Education Division to be credited toward the major, if the course is not regularly offered in the undergraduate day college and provided the course (and the college at which it is taken) is approved by both the Department Chair and the Office of the Registrar. To transfer courses and credits taken at another institution the student must earn a grade of C– or better. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange to have an official transcript sent to the Office of the Registrar at Assumption College. Grades taken at these institutions are not included in the calculation of the student’s GPA. All grades received through Assumption’s Continuing Education Division by a matriculating undergraduate student are automatically included in the student’s transcript and are included in the calculation of the student’s GPA
