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 comprehensive Certificates, Micro-Certificates and Letters of Accomplishment or Participation. These offers are designed to meet the needs of a wide spectrum of learners with an emphasis on workforce development (upskilling). Programs are developed in consultation with professional organizations, the business sector and provincial authorities to ensure they meet designation requirements and are widely recognized. We also offer programming that provides support for Indigenous, Newcomer, and other 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.
Extended Education Academic Regulations may be found on this page.
