Our History

In 1899, 51³Ô¹ÏÍøfirst introduced summer school for regular 51³Ô¹ÏÍødaytime students, providing off-session regular program classes administered by the University’s Extension program. As the demand for continuing education grew, extension, extra-mural, and adult education courses became more readily available. 

In 1968, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø launched the Centre of Continuing Education –  the predecessor to what is today the School of Continuing Studies. The Centre was intended for the community at large and developed with the community’s needs in mind.
