All enrollments for continuing education are handled through Professional and Continuing Education (PACE). To become an active student, visit the PACE website, click Apply Now, and complete the Credit Courses for New Non-Degree Student application.

2. Register for courses. Once you have an active student account, you can register for courses. If you have any issues with registration, please contact register@uvm.edu.
