CEP alternate growing
The Community Education
Program (CEP) enables part-time
non-degree students to enroll in
University courses without going
through formal admission proce
dures. The program has a number
of attractive features.
For one, CEP students, unlike
auditors, receive up to six hours
credit for their work each quarter
Often students with sub-standard
grade point averages will use the
CEP program to raise their aver
age to University standards be
fore enrolling. Should a student
later enroll in a degree program,
CEP work is evaluated as transfer
credit.
Another advantage of CEP is
reduced tuition. For example, last
year three hours of undergraduate
credit cost $88 in the degree prog
ram and $61 in CEP. Three hours
of graduate degree work came to
$145, while in CEP the cost was
$121.
Julie Ousley, Admissions re
ceptionist, says many profession
als not seeking degrees are at
tracted to these lower-priced
courses. An accountant might
want to increase bookkeeping
skills or a nurse might wish to en
roll in a course on death and
dying. Individuals interested in
just taking courses for pleasure
also enroll in CEP.
Easy registration is a further at
traction of the program CEP has
its own registration on Sept. 23
from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in McArthur
Court and Sept. 26-28 from 8 a m
to 7 p.m. on the second floor of
Oregon Hall
To be eligible a student must
never have been enrolled as a
regularly admitted student at the
University, or, if previously enrol
led, have not attended the Univer
sity as a regularly admitted stu
dent since completion of the de
gree or program for which they
were last admitted.
For further information contact
the Admissions Office, Room 270
Oregon Hall, or call 686-3201.
