It is the responsibility of the University
to provide access to higher education beyond the traditional patterns of
campus-based education and programs. This task is assigned to the Extended
University Division (EUD). It administers a variety of programs, courses,
workshops, seminars, and conferences designed for those members of the
community who seek to expand their interests, to improve and broaden their
professional preparation, or to further their University degree aspirations.
The Division’s activities are frequently organized in cooperation with
school districts, governmental agencies, nonprofit organizations, professional
associations, and other such agencies to effectively offer programs that
meet the general community needs.
ADMISSION

Individuals need not submit transcripts of previous work. However, persons wishing to participate in specific degree and certificate programs should contact the EUD office for information concerning application procedures and admission information. In all cases, students must satisfy the academic or experiential prerequisites for the particular courses in which they intend to enroll, or, obtain permission of the instructor.

Course fees vary considerably based on the type of program offered, location, and other factors. All fees are subject to change as determined by the Board of Trustees of the California State University System.
