Here at the Division of Continuing Education, we embrace and celebrate the individuality of each learner. Whether you are looking for greater flexibility to complete your degree, facing academic difficulty, returning to school after a hiatus or beginning your academic journey later in life, you are a valued member of our community. Your unique experiences and perspectives enrich our campus, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
As you navigate your educational path, please remember that our doors are always open. Whether you need academic guidance, enrollment or billing support, career coaching, or simply someone to talk to, our dedicated staff and faculty are here to provide the assistance you need to succeed.
I am truly excited to witness the incredible achievements and milestones that our learners reach during their time at CU Boulder. Together, let's create a vibrant and inclusive learning community where every student has the opportunity to thrive and excel.
Once again, welcome to the Division of Continuing Education. We are honored to have you with us, and I look forward to seeing your dreams become a reality.

Our Purpose
To make a difference in people’s lives by providing quality lifelong learning opportunities and service to a diverse population by developing innovative courses and programs and by extending the academic resources of the university.
Who We Are
The Division of Continuing Education has been serving the CU Boulder campus, its students and community learners for well over a century. Our founding mission–to extend the academic resources of the university to populations outside the institution’s walls–remains the core of our work today. We are perpetually revisiting how we deliver on our mission as our communities, areas of study and academic technologies continuously grow and diversify.
What We Do
At the heart of our work is service. We strive to provide our learners and campus partners with the knowledge, tools and support they need to achieve their individual goals, growth and evolution.
For Learners
We see education as a never-ending journey, which is why we offer courses and programs that meet learners no matter where they are on their academic path from kindergarten through retirement. In addition to our academic programming, we have dedicated student services focused on academic, enrollment, financial and career support so students get the most out of their time at CU Boulder.
For the Campus
We partner with academic departments and units across the university to help deliver quality courses, innovative programming, and creative administrative solutions. We provide program management, course design and development, and administrative support services to help campus colleagues realize their vision.
