Continuing Education

Anyone who has completed a bachelor’s degree is eligible to enroll in continuing education courses. Baker’s continuing education programs are designed for educators who seek additional graduate credit to meet state recertification requirements, increase knowledge in a particular subject area, or enhance their earning power.

Students must register online and allow one or two business days to process the enrollment request. A confirmation letter is emailed following the receipt of registration. Baker University reserves the right to cancel a course because of insufficient enrollment.

Register for a Course

Baker University’s continuing education courses are asynchronous, meaning there are no “live” class sessions. Instructor-led, asynchronous classes allow you to access course materials at any time during the weekly modules, take part in discussions with your instructor, and participate in threaded discussions with your peers. Baker University uses Moodle as our online course management system and our online instructors are trained in best practices for facilitating a stimulating and productive online learning experience.

Continuing education courses are created with the PK-12 educator in mind. Baker is committed to offering course content applicable and relevant to today’s PK-12 classrooms.

Guidelines of excellence and quality indicate that success is better ensured by continuing education participants if they limit the number of credit hours to 9 credit hours of enrollment per term. A continuing education participant may make a written appeal to the director of continuing education to enroll in additional credit hours.

Graduate credit hours earned through continuing education may apply to a degree program. However, students are strongly encouraged to contact the university they will apply to and inquire about their transfer policies.

Tuition is refunded in full if a withdrawal is received before the first class session of a course. A 90 percent tuition refund is given if a withdrawal request is received before the second class session. No refund is given for a withdrawal request received after the second class. Technology fees are nonrefundable.

The date of receipt of the official withdrawal request is the date used in determining if a tuition refund is due. A withdrawal after completion of 50 percent of the course results in a W grade.

Continuing Education Course Withdraw Request

Refund of full tuition requires written notification of withdrawal received before the first class session of a course.

A 90 percent refund requires written notification of withdrawal received before the second class session of a course.

Withdrawal after the second class of a course results in no tuition refund.

Technology fees are nonrefundable.
