How Continuing Education works

Eligibility for enrolment

Our courses and programs are open to anyone eighteen (18) years of age or older. Most of the courses and programs offered have no academic pre-requisites for admission.

There are no academic requirements for admission, but there are course prerequisites that must be respected when completing a program of study.

To verify if a program has special admission requirements, please consult the web page of your program of interest.

Non-credit courses

Courses offered by Concordia Continuing Education (CCE) are designated as “non-credit” and may be used to obtain a non-credit diploma or certificate at CCE. Non-credit courses cannot be counted towards any of the degree, diploma or certificate programs offered by the Faculties of the University. The courses offered by CCE are, however, recognized by industry and can be used to obtain a non-credit certificate or diploma from CCE.

Course delivery modes

Courses are offered online, in-person or a combination of both.

Access to online courses

Moodle is the designated learning management system at Concordia University. All in-person and online courses have a Moodle course site.

Technical requirements

The minimum requirements to take courses online are a computer, functioning webcam, access to Wi-Fi or a data plan, and microphone. Your hard drive must be 256 GB or higher.
