Student Information and Services: For Students in Noncredit Courses
Private Access Code (PAC) and UW NetID
After registering for a noncredit class, you will receive a letter providing your private access code (PAC). This code can be used to establish your UW NetID, your personal network identification. Once your UW NetID is established, you may connect to MyUW to view your registration schedule and access information about University resources and activities. If you purchase a computer account when you register (see below), your UW NetID will also allow you to access computers in campus computing labs, dial-in modem pools, UW e-mail, Web publishing and more.
Computer accounts
UW Extension students enrolled in noncredit courses, who need access
to e-mail, the Internet, or a C or C++ compiler to complete homework assignments, may purchase a computer account when registering. The fee is $55 per quarter. No refunds are available for computer accounts.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)/Official Records
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are earned by students who successfully complete noncredit courses offering CEUs. A nationally recognized means to document participation in organized noncredit continuing education, the CEU provides a vehicle for employers, professional groups and licensing agencies to account for the successful completion of noncredit courses. The number of CEUs earned by successfully completing a course, if any, is indicated at the end of the course description. The number of CEUs earned by the student who successfully completes a noncredit course providing CEUs is recorded on the UW Educational Outreach Official Record. Students may request a UW Educational Outreach Official Record by sending
a written request to UW Educational Outreach Program Support Services, 4311 11th Ave. NE, Seattle, WA 98105-4608. Students who fail to attend noncredit courses providing CEUs must officially withdraw to avoid receiving a notation of unsuccessful completion on their UW Educational Outreach Official Record (see "Withdrawal and refund policies" below).
High school students
High school students (or younger students) may be eligible to take noncredit UW Extension courses. See UW Extension enrollment policy for details.
Withdrawal and refund policies (noncredit courses)
(Note: These policies do not apply to certificate courses or programs. See Certificate Course or Program Refunds and Withdrawals.)
Withdrawal: Failing to attend class or notifying the instructor that you wish to drop a class does not constitute an official withdrawal from the course. To avoid receiving a record of unsuccessful completion (applicable to courses providing CEUs), a student must officially withdraw from the course. To withdraw, unless otherwise noted, a student must contact UW Extension Registration in person, by e-mail, or by U.S. mail. (Students who do not withdraw, and who do not complete the class, will have a record of unsuccessful completion on their UW Educational Outreach Official Record.)
Refund: If the refund request is received by the end of the business day prior to the day of the first class meeting, you will receive a 100 percent refund, less the nonrefundable registration fee. If the request is received after the first class meeting, but by the end of the business day prior to the day of the second class meeting, you will receive a 50 percent refund, less the nonrefundable registration fee. There is no refund for withdrawal from these courses on or after the day of the second class meeting; the only exception is when the course has been cancelled by UW Extension. Some courses have different refund policies; these are noted after the course
descriptions. You will receive a refund within three weeks. Refund checks will be issued to third-party payers if a third-party made the original payment.
