Continuing Education and Programs for Part-Time Students 

Saint John Campus 

  1. The Saint John campus operates an integrated program which treats part-time students on essentially the same basis as full-time students. Credit courses are under the administrative control of the Faculties, and are scheduled at the time of day or evening which makes them most accessible to both the full-time and part-time clientele. Academic advising for part-time students is available through the Departments and Faculties, as it is for those in full-time studies.

  2. In addition to degree programs, the campus offers certificate programs in Data Analysis, and in Business Administration, Human Resource Management, Accounting, Electronic Commerce, Economics, Financial Markets, Communication and Professional Writing and General Studies, which are of particular relevance to part-time students. All courses offered towards a certificate are degree-credit courses and students who subsequently enroll in a degree program will normally be able to count courses taken towards the certificate as credits towards the degree. Another certificate program offered is the Certificate of Proficiency in French, Level I and II, which is open to students whether or not they are currently working towards a degree.

  3. A variety of non-degree courses is also offered to meet the needs of professional associations and other groups.
