How To Register




Registration Overview
Tseng College Continuing Education Unit Courses and Workshops

Tseng College classes are self-enrichment and professional development courses offered on a Continuing Education Unit (CEU) basis. Course offerings that do not carry academic credit or unit value still become part of a student's academic record, but a student's performance in these classes has no effect on his/her overall regular university grade point average. However, grade point average minimums are required for most Certificates in Advanced Professional Development.

Also offered are courses, seminars, workshops and certificate programs to meet professional development and career needs of individuals and professional groups. These 900-level courses are identified with the acronym CEU following the course's unit value. Students in these classes earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). One CEU equals 10 hours of class participation. CEUs cannot be converted to academic credit units in the California State University system.
Tseng College Degrees, Graduate Credit Certificates and Open University Programs

Degree and graduate credit certificate programs offered in a cohort format have their own registration policies and procedures. Please contact The Tseng College registration office at (818) 677-2504 for more information.
