Rutgers Noncredit Course Catalog
Explore a curated selection of Rutgers noncredit courses and access the registration system to enroll, submit payments, and view your noncredit records. This resource helps you find current learning opportunities offered across the university.
Accessing Your Course in Canvas
Canvas is the Learning Management System used at Rutgers to deliver online courses, including continuing education (CE).
When you register for an online CE course, you will receive a confirmation email detailing how to access it in Canvas.
New Canvas Students
Noncredit students will receive an email with instructions to complete the Canvas account setup. The email contains a link to the “Welcome Aboard!” login screen, where students will be prompted to create a Canvas password. Once a password has been set, noncredit students should use the Email Login button to access their Canvas Dashboard and enrolled course(s).
Existing Canvas Students
Noncredit students should use the Email Login button on the Canvas homepage to access their courses. If necessary, passwords can be retrieved using the "Forgot Password?" link.
Users with a Rutgers NetID
Rutgers Faculty, staff, and matriculated students who have previously accessed Canvas using a Rutgers NetID should use the NetID Login button on the Canvas homepage and follow the prompts to access their courses.
Additional Resources
Students can access a variety of resources on the Rutgers Canvas homepage, including a self-paced student orientation that is available without logging in.
Student Policies
Course enrollment is accepted on a first-pay, first-served basis, and seats are not guaranteed until full payment has been received. Students who have not paid in full will not be admitted to the course unless they have been pre-approved by the unit offering the course.
The ANCOR noncredit registration system accepts online payments by credit card (e.g., Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) or electronic check using bank account routing details. For alternate payment options, such as manual check, Purchase Order, or ACH/wire transfer, please contact the unit offering the course. By completing your transaction, you agree to all payment terms and conditions as provided by the unit.
All third-party verification requests must be accompanied by a signed consent form that clearly specifies the information approved for sharing. The requester will be provided with verification for authorized information only.
Noncredit student records are confidential and should only be released to the student or a designated proxy with the student's written authorization and signature, in accordance with the Public Information Act and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.
Students may request a transcript for continuing education courses completed at Rutgers University by directly contacting the continuing education unit that administered the program(s) in question. If a student is unsure which unit to contact, the following information can be submitted via email to ANCORHelp@rutgers.edu, and the inquiry will be forwarded accordingly:
Transcript type (e.g., Record of Registration [unofficial] or Noncredit Transcript [official])
Student's full name, including any previous names, if applicable
Course name(s)
Date(s) of attendance
Email where the transcript should be sent
Requestor's daytime phone number
NOTE: Each continuing education unit has its own transcript request policies regarding cost, format, distribution method, and processing time. Requests for transcripts covering courses from multiple units may require multiple requests.
Each continuing education unit is responsible for maintaining accurate records of student attendance and successful course completion. Any discrepancies should be discussed directly with the continuing education unit that offered the program(s) in question.
