Policies and Guidelines
Non-credit means courses do not count for University-level credit towards a degree or diploma program. Non-credit courses are designed to supplement your existing education and experience. There is more flexibility in the learning objectives and they are taught by experienced industry professionals who are currently working or have dedicated experience in the field. Many of the courses offered for professional and personal development are noncredit courses. More information about non-credit courses can be found in our non-credit policy documentation.
Sometimes the School of Continuing Education partners with outside institutions to provide access to a greater variety of courses. Because of this, our gift certificates and discounts can only be applied to MacEwan owned noncredit courses.
If you have any questions about the status of a course, please contact us at (780) 497-4400 or sce@macewan.ca.
This policy is currently under review.
