What do students love about Continuing Education?

“I chose to take Medical Coding & Billing classes at CSU Continuing Education because the program was well-rounded and offered a solid internship at the end. After having finished the courses, I passed the CCA test on the first try and then moved on to the internship.

I enjoyed working in the office so much that I applied for an open position and GOT THE JOB! Thanks CSU!”

~ Beth Blanton

This course, taught by EPA Lead-Safe Certified instructors, will help you to understand and comply with these regulations. Avoid the risk of stiff government fines and civil liability while protecting yourself, your crew, and your customers from a health risk. All course materials provided.

Drawing Crash Course!

Digital Arts Certificate

Instructor: Brenda Stevens Artists do not possess magical powers; they develop a range of skills and then practice those skills until they become second nature.

However, an artist does have a special way of seeing. They see light against dark, repeated patterns, shared edges of positive and negative shapes—the relationships of one thing to another. This four hour workshop, for beginners, promises to sharpen your powers of observation while improving your eye-to-hand coordination. You will explore stroke, shape, shading and viewpoint, and learn what it means to construct a drawing.

Relax, its only paper. Class includes a one hour break. Materials provided.

The Digital Arts Online Training Program will help you develop technical skills and creative artistry in digital photography, imaging, and illustration. This program covers Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and more.

I M P O R TA N T I N F O R M AT I O N WHEN TO REGISTER Register EARLY! Registration is now available and should be completed early to guarantee a space in the class. Late registration will be accepted if the class is not full.

FEES Course fees are stated at the end of each course description and payment is due at the time of registration. Laws exempting senior citizens from college tuition costs do not apply to these self-supported courses. No cash is available after 4:30 p.m. If you register after 4:30 p.m., please have the exact amount or pay by check, credit card, or company billing (purchase order number and contact person required). Make checks payable to Columbus State University.

REFUNDS/CANCELLATIONS Continuing Education is self-supporting and all costs are covered through student registration fees. In the event of cancellation or changes of times and dates, we will attempt to notify you at least two business days before the course begins.

If you cannot attend a course as planned, you may receive a CSU Continuing Education class credit. If you choose to withdraw from a class, please notify us before 5:00 pm at least three business days prior to the class start date. A full refund minus a $15 processing fee or a credit will be issued. Class credits are good for one year. If you withdraw after the three-business day deadline, but before the class begins, you will receive a 50% refund. No refunds will be given after a class begins. Refunds are not available for College Readiness classes.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY Columbus State University will not issue refunds for classes which have been postponed due to inclement weather or other circumstances beyond our control. We will make every effort to reschedule such classes. In the event of inclement weather, tune into your local radio or television station for information about closings.

PERMANENT RECORDS The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a nationally recognized measurement of noncredit course work. One CEU (1.0) may be awarded for each ten hours of participation in an approved program. We keep a permanent record of participation in selected programs, issue a certificate to acknowledge successful completion of the program, and provide official transcripts to you or your employer. All requests for transcripts must be in writing.

CERTIFICATION Many of our certificate courses are approved for VA education benefits by the Department of Veterans Service. For further information or to inquire about a specific certification course, call 706.507.8070. Military spouses may also use CAA or MyCAA funds for certain courses. For more information on the CAA program, please send an e-mail to georgiacaa@gmail.com. For more information regarding MyCAA, go online to www.militaryonesource.com/mycaa or call 800.342.9647.
