What you can expect from classroom courses
Continuing Education's classroom courses are engaging and interactive to ensure you can understand and apply course-related concepts to your work and life. You will be expected to participate actively throughout your course — contributing to class discussions, working collaboratively, providing peer review and producing excellent work.
Instructors
Our instructors are experts, well equipped with the knowledge and experience their course demands. Our industry-based courses are taught by people who have real-world experience. Often, they are still working in their field while they are sharing their knowledge in our courses. Our Personal Interest and One Day @ UCalgary courses are taught by academics who have a passion for their subject areas.
Course Timing
Our classroom courses are scheduled at a variety of dates and times to provide students with schedules that can fit into busy lives. Please check the course outline provided by your instructor for all course details.
Facilities
Most of our courses are taught face-to-face at various locations — most often at the Main Campus in Northwest Calgary or at the Downtown Campus on the intersection of 8th Avenue and 8th Street Southwest. Classroom locations are noted in your confirmation of registration and through the student portal.
Continuing Education uses Desire2Learn (D2L) to provide digital assets for your classroom course. D2L is an online learning portal where your instructor may post your course outlines, assignments, resources and grades. Click here to access online learning resources.
