Where do I park? Do I need a parking pass?
There is a parking lot located adjacent to the Continuing Education building.

to park in our lot during your class. If your class is held in a location other than the CE building,
you will be informed of the parking regulations for that location when you register.

Registration/Money Questions
How do I register for a class?
Everyone is encouraged to pre-register for continuing education activities by completing
our printable registration form.
Download and complete registration form, and then mail it, fax it, or bring it to our office. Or you can call 706-864-1918
to register and pay with a credit card. We accept MasterCard, VISA, and Discover. Participants are accepted on a first come, first served basis.
Return to top
What is the deadline to register for my class?
Most classes don't have an official deadline to register. It is a good idea to register as early
as possible for several reasons:
1. Register early because classes fill up quickly and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. Register early so your class isn't canceled due to low enrollment. We must make the call to cancel classes 3 - 5 days prior to
the start date. Sometimes one more registration will allow us to hold a class we were considering canceling!
Return to top
How do I pay for my class?
We accept cash, personal checks, money orders, MasterCard, VISA, and Discover, or we can invoice your company. Exact
change is appreciated if you are paying with cash. Make checks payable to NGCSU.
Return to top
Can I register for my class online?
Not yet. We are working towards offering complete online registration in the future. You can, however, select
your class, download, print, and complete the registration form from the internet to speed up your registration process.
In addition, now you can also download the waiver form if your class requires it.
Return to top
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes, we offer several discounts on instructor-led classes only. Currently, we do not offer discounts for online classes, Wellness Center, music lessons, or travel programs.
- 10% Discount to anyone over the age of 62. (You must show ID at time of registration.)
- 10% Discount to NGCSU Faculty, Staff, and Students. (You must show ID at time of registration.)

Continuing Education Classes Questions
Will I receive college credits for my class?
Continuing Education classes do not carry credit applicable toward a NGCSU degree or transfer to other institutions.
Return to top
Do I have to be a high school graduate to take a class?
No. Since Continuing Education programs are not college credit classes, anyone may register and
take a class with us. Some classes do have age restrictions, please call Continuing Education and ask about taking a particular class if you are under 18 years of age.
Return to top
Do you ever cancel a class?
We don't want to cancel your classes, and we try very hard to not to. Programs not meeting minimum attendance
requirements three days to a week before the start of class may be
canceled.
Return to top
How will I know if my class is canceled?
Someone from the Continuing Education team will call you as soon as the class has officially been canceled. At the time of registration, please be sure to give a good phone number where you can be reached during the day in the event of a canceled class.
Return to top
What if my class is canceled?
You will receive a full refund
if the class is cancelled. If payment is made by credit card, your account will be credited. Other refunds may take 3-4 weeks.
Driver's License numbers or other ID may be required to process refunds.
Return to top
What is the minimum age to take your classes?
In order to provide an optimum educational experience for those participating in our programs, our open enrollment classes are designed for those ages 16 and above unless otherwise designated.
Children under the age of
13 must be supervised by an adult, age 18 or older, at all times. This includes not only the classrooms, but the lobby areas as well. Certain classes may
have different age requirements, and will be noted accordingly.
Return to top
Can I bring my child to my class to sit in?
Our goal is to provide quality instruction; therefore children are not permitted to sit in on classes they are not registered for.
Return to top
Do you offer classes for children?
Yes. This semester we are excited to offer several youth programs. Also, we offer day and overnight youth camps each summer.
Return to top
What if you don't offer a class I want to take?
Please let us know what you are interested in taking. We are always looking for new ideas, and if you are
interested in something, most likely someone else out there is too. Call 706-864-1918 or email us at conted@ngcsu.edu.
Return to top
What is a CEU?
A Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a measure used in continuing education programs,
particularly those required in a licensed profession in order for the professional to maintain the license.
CEU records are widely used to provide evidence of completion of continuing education requirements mandated by
certification bodies, professional societies, or governmental licensing boards.
The records also provide employers with information on training pertinent to particular occupations.
Return to top
Will I receive CEU credits for my class?
One CEU (1.0) may be awarded for each ten (10) contact hours of completed course work. Partial CEUs may also be awarded. Please tell someone on the continuing education team or your instructor if you wish to receive CEU credit for your class.
Return to top
I have a group of people who want to take a specific class at a different time. Is this possible?
Please call us (706-864-1918) with your special need. Many times we are able to open a new session or come to a
business for an individualized training session.
