Services and Support
Credit Workshops
Credit workshops are programs that have credit bearing courses, and that may fall outside of the boundaries of traditional Miami classes. These credit programs vary in lengths and credit hours and may be held on campus, in locations throughout Ohio, online and globally. A credit workshop is an enrollment-contingent, budgeted, academic program designed to encourage curricular innovation and provide service to special populations of learners, such as education abroad/away, online, and on campus.
Non-Credit Programs
Non-Credit programs at Miami University offer personal or professional skills improvement, job training or career enhancement, or personal enrichment for students of all ages in a format that meets the requirements of the learning experience. Miami University credit workshop directors may choose to offer their workshop experiences to non-credit participants as a companion to the academic credit-bearing program.
Sixty Plus Program
Persons sixty years of age or older who have resided in Ohio for at least one year are eligible to audit (attend) Miami classes without paying tuition or admission fees. Some restrictions apply.
CEUs
Miami Continuing Education Units (CEUs) may be offered by Non-Credit programs. If you participate in a program that offers CEUs, Continuing Education will process your participation request. If you need a printed transcript, we also are the clearinghouse for those CEU Transcript Requests.
Passport and Photo Services
Make an appointment with our Passport & Photo Services to apply for or renew your passport. Since 2009, Continuing Education has provided this valuable service to the Miami and Oxford community.
