Have a question?
You'll find the answers to our most commonly asked questions below.Continuing Education (CE) is defined as formal non-credit courses of independent study designed for adult, part-time students. Open enrollment classes are typically ongoing, available on-demand, and provide skills training, certificates, and industry certification. CE classes can are divided into two basic categories:
- Leisure Learning classes provide opportunities to explore new ideas, skills, and viewpoints. Courses in dance, photography, and other personal interests allow you to keep a sharp mind, make new friends, and become part of a growing community of lifelong learners.
- Professional Development courses are an indispensable tool for new job training, advancing existing skills, and updating Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
Continuing Education and Outreach (CEO) at JSU provides both online and in the classroom, all materials provided, and no high school diploma or admission application required.
Doctors, nurses, lawyers, CPAs, and other such professionals must earn a specified number of credits each year to keep their certification, or licenses to practice, current.
You will find CEUs and hours for each course listed in the catalog.
Should a severe weather alert be issued during a class, instructors or other responsible parties will direct students to a predetermined safe location. Safe areas include stairwells, restrooms, or other ground-level areas without windows. Each classroom has an emergency evacuation map indicating the nearest secured location.
