Continuing Education has
something for everyone

 

kt E,

Continuing Education's (CE) Perinatal Instructors Susan

~ Hammond (left) and Kathie Lindstrom (right) relax in front
of their display at the CE Open House held September 15 at
the New Westminster Campus.

 

The Continuing Education Open House attracted over 100 visitors
who checked out courses covering everything from Travel Counsellor
Training and Health Sciences to Coaching and Language, Literature
and the Performing Arts.

Each year over 20,000 people from all over the Lower Mainland take
Continuing Education programs at the College, enrolling in courses,
seminars and workshops, attending conferences and events or
completing part-time certificate programs. If you're interested in
finding out more about the College's Continuing Education offerings,
booklets are available in room 4011 and 2700, or see their Web site at
www.douglas.bc.ca and choose Departments, and then Continuing
Education. Another Open House is planned for January, so watch for
notices announcing the date and time.

Transfer TIPS Handbook available

British Columbia TIPS (Transfer Information for Post-
Secondary Success), a user-friendly handbook outlining how
students can transfer credits between BC post secondary
institutions, was released September 13 by the BC Council
on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT). The handbook
includes tips, student quotes, scenarios, a personal plan and

checklist.

“Copies of TIPS are available to students free of charge,” said
Frank Gelin, executive director of BCCAT. “The need for
such a handbook has been recognized for some time. We
encourage students to read TIPS to better prepare themselves
for the world of post-secondary education, and to help them
to reach their academic goals.”

Copies of TIPS are available at the Registrar's Office at all
campuses, or on the BCCAT Web site at www.bccat.bc.ca.
