FAQ

1. What's the difference between the programs, courses, and open learning?

a. StFX offers several for-credit, degree programs that are completely online. There may be some synchronous or live components, but those components are 100% digital. We also offer individual credit-based courses for StFX undergraduate and graduate students as part of their academic degree program. You must apply and enroll at StFX in order to take these programs and courses.

b. Open Learning courses offer Continuing Education Units as credit (CEUs), but are not available for academic credit. In most cases, these courses are self-paced and can be purchased and started immediately.

c. Open Learning courses that are offered through the Coady International Institute are run at various times throughout the year and require learners to apply to the courses. For more information about these courses, see the Coady International Institute FAQ page.

2. Can I register others for the Open Learning?

a. If you purchase more than one license of an Open Learning course, you can assign the course licenses to co-workers or employees. If you are purchasing only one license of a course for someone else, you must enter that person's information upon Checkout. We cannot transfer individual course licenses.
