Advising Notes

The information above is subject to change.

Courses are offered online and on our campus in Chicago. However, we did not design noncredit certificates to be completed remotely.

The course schedule and your availability will influence your progress. It is not recommended to take more than two courses per term.

We schedule a limited number of two-weekend intensives in the winter. During this term, students can complete coursework requirements, including their electives. 

All 30-hour Adult Continuing Education courses are eligible electives for all certificate programs. 

Some courses are meant to be taken in sequence and have prerequisite courses or other requirements deemed necessary to ensure the greatest likelihood of student success. You are responsible for being aware of and meeting any course prerequisite(s) before registration. 

Visit continuingstudies.saic.edu for course descriptions, including prerequisite(s).
