Apply to Become an Extended Education Student

  1. Complete the online Extended Education application form.
  2. Once the form and any required documents (if applicable) are received, Registrar's Office will inform the applicant via email regarding acceptance and registration in classes.
  3. The student will be sent information to access Populi. Use Populi to view:
    • Fee statement
    • Grades
    • Information from your instructor
  4. Students who wish to withdraw from a course must complete and submit a course change form. Ceasing to attend classes or not paying for the class does not constitute an official withdrawal and may result in the student receiving a failing grade for a course. Current students can find the list of withdrawal and refund dates on the Student Hub—Withdrawal and Refund Schedule.
