UVM Advance (non-degree)

  • Pre-College: Year-round programs (academic year and summer) that allow high school students to earn UVM credit. PACE manages the Summer Academy program, tuition vouchers, student services, and operational support for this population.
  • General Non-Degree: Individual course enrollments for learners not currently pursuing a degree, including professionals seeking skill enhancement or individuals exploring academic interests. These learners may eventually matriculate into a degree program after sampling individual courses.
  • Packaged Non-Degree Sequences and Courses: Bundled courses that provide learners with credentials without pursuing a full degree. 

Funding Model

The funding algorithm for non-degree credit enrollments supports the academic unit and the infrastructure required to attract and serve these students: 15% of gross tuition revenue goes to PACE, and 85% to the academic unit.  Note: in some funding years, Incubator Funds may be available for market-aligned packaged sequences.
