Extended Education
Extended Education is an academic unit of the University that offers continuing and professional programming to lifelong learners. We offer a diversity of University continuing education courses and programs which include Letters of Accomplishment or Participation, Micro-credentials, Digital Badges, as well as more comprehensive credentials, such as Certificates. These offers are designed to meet the needs of a wide spectrum of learners with an emphasis on professional workforce development (upskilling). Programs are developed in consultation with professional organizations, the business sector and provincial authorities to ensure they meet designation requirements and/or are widely recognized. We also offer programming that provides support for Indigenous and Newcomer students accepted into the Access Program or students admitted to General Studies. We work in partnership with industry, government, UM faculties and departments, as well as community organizations, to develop high quality programming that is responsive, accessible, and socially progressive.
