The Program of Continuing Education (PCE) at MassArt offers courses and workshops primarily during evenings and on weekends during the fall, spring, and summer semesters and during the winter intersession. Located on the 2nd floor of the Tower Building, PCE offers an array of undergraduate and graduate level courses that can be considered for transfer to other colleges, including MassArt’s day college programs.

Matriculating Day students must obtain approval from their advisor of their PCE course selection before registering for classes in Continuing Education if they wish to transfer the credits to their degree program. Add and Drop policies, as well as class schedules are different from Day College policies and calendars, so pay particular attention to expectations and deadlines should be made. Matriculating Day students with outstanding tuition and other charges, are not eligible to register for PCE classes or workshops. Matriculating Day students who register for courses during both day and PCE courses are responsible for the charges associated with each. Matriculating Day students who wish to register for 9 or more credits through PCE must obtain the Registrar’s signature on their PCE registration.

BFA registration in PCE classes

Degree candidates taking PCE classes should obtain the appropriate registration form from the Continuing Education office (2nd floor, Tower), select their courses and complete the registration form, obtain approval of the courses from the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, and register for these courses in the PCE office. Students taking 9 or more credits through PCE must have their PCE registration form signed by the Registrar.

Course Cancellation/Meetings

Continuing Education classes may be canceled if under-enrolled. PCE classes have independent schedules and meet on faculty/staff days, registration days, and during day school vacations, review boards, or examination periods. They do not meet on state holidays or when the college is closed.

Adding or Dropping PCE Classes

To drop a PCE class, BFA students must complete an Add/Drop Form and obtain the signature of their faculty advisor. Students are encouraged to inform the instructor of the course. Failure to drop a course officially results in a NC (No Credit) grade. Consult the Continuing Education Catalogue regarding Add/Drop dates and refund policies.
