Community Credit/Non-degree Students

GSLIS, in cooperation with the Office of Continuing Education, is pleased to be able to offer non-degree students an opportunity to take graduate level courses via the Academic Outreach Community Credit Program. Formal admission to the University is not necessary, but a bachelor's degree is required.

If you are interested in taking a class next spring, please submit the REQUEST TO ENROLL IN GSLIS COURSE(S) SPRING 2009 form no later than December 12. Registration approvals will be sent out commencing November 10.

Note: If you're paying for a class out of your own pocket, don't forget to make use of the Lifelong Learning Tax Credit when you do your income tax at the end of the year. It allows you to take a tax credit for a portion of any money you spend on continuing education.
