Welcome To Extension
The Faculty of Extension is the University of Alberta’s home for continuing and professional education, English language learning, and direct-to-career certificate programs. Take a look at the programs we are featuring below. Some of them are geared toward students like you, just out of high school. But we also have programs for mid-career adults, which you may want to suggest to your parents—and make them work as hard as you do on keeping themselves up-to-date!
Most Extension courses and programs are open to learners from all backgrounds. There are often no minimum GPA requirements for admission to our post-secondary programs.
Courses run year-round, with classes offered several times in different terms. You can even begin to take individual courses before formally applying into a program.
Course registration is easy and can be completed online. Start exploring courses and programs today!

Extension also offers English as an Additional Language (EAL) courses to help students prepare for post-secondary.
