Flexible learning on campus and online
Continuing Education courses are offered in a variety of formats including classroom and online, and occasionally, blended — partially in the classroom and partially online. Some certificates are achieved completely in the classroom, others completely online. Some certificate programs give you the choice of taking your courses in either format.
TAKING COURSES IN THE CLASSROOM Main Campus 2500 University Drive NW Downtown Campus 906 8th Avenue SW Continuing Education courses are held at UCalgary's main and downtown campuses at times that are convenient for adult learners.
AT HOME STUDY In most certificate program classroom courses, students are expected to complete readings and assignments between classes. The number of hours needed for at-home study will vary, however, if your course includes one three-hour class each week, you should plan on spending an additional three hours per week outside of class. Please take this into account when enrolling in multiple courses at one time.
TAKING COURSES ONLINE

Learning online takes the learning experience out of the traditional classroom and on to the Internet. Courses are instructor-led and interactive. Students work within scheduled start- and end-dates and observe set timelines for learning activities and assignments.
especially if you are enrolling in multiple courses at one time.
In asynchronous courses, students are free to choose when they go online during the week. Synchronous courses require that students attend online classes on designated dates and at designated times.
ONLINE COURSE WORKLOAD For asynchronous courses, you should plan to log in to the University’s online learning software — Desire2Learn (D2L) — three to four times per week in order to keep pace with the class. In all online courses, you can expect to spend approximately six hours per week per course. Please take this into
UNCERTAIN ABOUT ONLINE LEARNING? Before taking your first online course, you may be required to take a prerequisite course: BMC 352 Learning Online.
BMC 352 LEARNING ONLINE Discover more about yourself as an online learner in a supportive environment and ultimately determine if online learning is for you. Compare your current skills, habits and technical knowledge against what’s typically required for success in Continuing Education online courses.

Is it your time to refresh, renew or reinvent yourself? Join more than 20,000 learners and become one of thousands of graduates who have already completed a University of Calgary Continuing Education certificate program. You will study with like-minded adult learners who pursue professional and personal development with commitment. Students come from a wide range of educational backgrounds.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS You must be at least 18 years of age to enrol in a Continuing Education course or certificate program unless otherwise specified, as in the case of academic preparation for undergraduates or a program designed specifically for youth. For most certificate programs, a minimum of a senior high school diploma and work experience are recommended, but not required. The Certificate in Video Game Development for Secondary School Students is restricted to applicants 13-16 years of age. If English is not your first language, please review the English language proficiency requirements at conted.ucalgary.ca/english.
GETTING STARTED In most programs, you can take courses first and enrol in the certificate program later. When you are ready to enrol in the certificate program, you can apply for credit for those courses that you have successfully completed and meet the certificate requirements.

APPLY FOR CERTIFICATE ADMISSION EARLY
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS
As programs are subject to change, we recommend you apply for admission to your certificate as early as possible. Once you are admitted, you can be confident that you have locked in the requirements leading to your graduation. To enrol in a certificate program now, go to conted.ucalgary.ca/apply. When you enrol in your certificate program, you will be charged a nonrefundable fee of $95. Additional fees may apply for specific programs.
Certificate requirements shown in this publication or at conted.ucalgary.ca are the requirements that a new student must follow to graduate. Because certificate programs are reviewed and updated on a regular basis, the requirements listed here may be different from previous or future years. For you to successfully complete a certificate program, you must meet the requirements that are locked in and noted on your student record when you are admitted to the program. Once you have been admitted — to be sure you are always choosing courses that can be credited toward your certificate — it is best to view the requirements outlined on your personal record at My ContEd.
YOUR UCID AND MY CONTED When you make your first transaction with Continuing Education, you will establish a student account and you will be assigned a UCID. This University of Calgary identification number will give you access to your Continuing Education student records through the confidential student portal, My ContEd. This is where you will be able to view your grades, monitor your progress in your certificate program, and update personal information. The portal is secure. Only you can view your personal information. Access to My ContEd is at conted.ucalgary.ca.
ADVANCED STANDING When you enrol in your certificate program, you may request a prior learning assessment. Advanced standing may be granted for equivalent, graded courses completed at other postsecondary institutions. More information is available at conted.ucalgary.ca/info.
Certificate graduates: Ahmad Ismaiel, Matt Astles and Christine Schuh.
GRADING
TRANSFERABILITY
Student learning is assessed through assignments and examinations, and grades are assigned for each course in a program of study. Most certificate programs follow the grading standards established for undergraduate instruction at the University of Calgary.
On completion of one certificate program, a student may choose to pursue another. In some cases, it is possible to transfer a limited number of hours between programs. The number of hours varies by certificate and depends on the courses taken. For details, go to the webpage for the certificate program(s) you have completed to see what may be possible for you.
In the Certificate for Emerging Leaders and the Certificate for Front Line Leaders, student learning is assessed through the evaluation of a reflective journal that is submitted following completion of the required number of instructional hours. In the Office Applications Certificate, student learning is assessed through examinations completed at the end of each course in the program of study.
GRADUATION It is the student’s responsibility to apply to graduate once all certificate requirements have been completed. In June of each year, a Continuing Education graduation ceremony is held for students who have completed their certificate requirements.
LADDERING TOWARD A DEGREE It is possible to use some certificate programs as a stepping stone towards an undergraduate degree if you can meet the faculty’s entrance requirements for undergraduate students. Several 300-hour Continuing Education certificate programs can be applied to a Minor in Workplace Learning, which will be accepted by the University of Calgary Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science and Faculty of Kinesiology.
