Professional designation and Academic Continuing Education courses or programs are linked to academic faculties and provide learners with academic transcripts on Nipissing University parchment. These types of extended learning opportunities are graded and defined more conventionally. Minimum requirements or pre-requisites may be necessary for enrolment. Unlike Non-Credit Learning offerings, these opportunities may involve other professionals in other departments to service and support the needs of the learners.

Examples include Additional Qualification/Additional Basic Qualification courses and Post-Baccalaureate Diplomas and Certificates.

Registration for Professional Designation and Academic Credit courses are made directly through the Nipissing University Registrar’s Office.
