Open University
This program opens the doors to university classes for students who are not formally admitted or enrolled in the University. The Open University program serves many purposes: an invitation to try out the University, a resource for those who need a class for personal or professional development, or a second chance for low-GPA students. Students may only enroll on a space-available basis and with the permission of the instructor in any regularly-scheduled course offered by the University. Since enrollment is permitted on a space-available basis, enrollment approval is given on the first day of instruction. If a student wishes to have credit applied toward a degree, a maximum of 24 units is allowable for a baccalaureate degree. A maximum of 9 units is allowed for a graduate degree.
Certificate Programs
Extended Education provides an array of online certificate programs for professional development in subjects like business, software development, health care, design and more. Upon successful completion of a program, students may be awarded continuing education units.
Teacher Education
For current teachers, Extended Education offers classes that award the extension credits needed for professional development. These online computer-based instruction courses offer instruction in timely topics by leaders in the education industry.
Contract Courses
Organizations planning continuing education courses using their own instructors may contract with Extended Education to offer extension credit for approved off-campus courses.
Early College
Extended Education partners with the College of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and Turlock Unified School District to allow juniors and seniors in high school to take Stanislaus State general education courses taught by a Stanislaus State faculty member. These courses are offered on site at the high schools and are paid for by the school district at no cost to the students.
