UVM's Teacher Connection

Educator FAQ

Accessing a university the size of the University of Vermont is not always simple due to the breadth and depth of offerings and information. In Continuing Education, we try to take the guesswork out of as much as possible. Since your situation is unique to you, we invite you to contact us with specific questions not answered here.

I am interested in taking a class. How do I get started?

I registered for a course. Will I receive confirmation that my registration has been received?
If you are a new student to UVM (haven't enrolled in a course in the last 10 years), you will receive a welcome postcard. If you are a returning student, you will receive a welcome email to your UVM email account. These messages contain information what you should do prior to attending your first class.

What is the difference between an education contract course and an open enrollment course?
An education contract course has a special financial arrangement with a school or sponsoring organization at a reduced per credit rate. Enrollment in contract courses is approved by the sponsoring school or organization and is not open to all students.
An open enrollment course charges full tuition and is open to any student who meets any required prerequisites.
