Program Support

The Center for Continuing Studies works cooperatively with the student, the correctional institution and their designated education officer to provide a quality educational experience.
The Center’s Services include:

  • Assisting with admissions, registration, billing, and graduation paperwork.
  • Working with third-parties who are providing financial assistance.
  • Providing written course materials including the syllabus and other related items.
  • Advising and program planning.
  • Facilitating communication with faculty as needed.

Students are responsible for:

  • Tuition and fees.
  • Books and materials.
  • Developing a study schedule and staying on track with coursework.
  • Maintaining appropriate and timely communication with instructors and CCS office staff regarding coursework.

Most incarcerated students take courses on a part-time basis (1 to3 courses per semester) and complete their degrees at their own pace.
