School of Continuing Studies
Where learning fits into your life.
Welcome to the School of Continuing Studies, where learning fits into your life—not the other way around. We believe education should be flexible, supportive, and people-first, meeting you where you're at and helping you take the next step, whatever that may be.
Grounded in the power of storytelling, we make learning an experience, not just a transaction. Our diverse programming is designed for lifelong learners locally and internationally who are looking to grow personally and professionally while maintaining balance in their lives. Whether you're upskilling for a new career, diving into a passion, or seeking community, we provide the access, resources, and friendly guidance to make it possible.
Rooted in Guelph’s welcoming spirit, we foster a sense of belonging—whether you're joining us for the first time or returning to continue your journey. Here, you're not just a student; you're part of a community that values lifelong learning for the whole self.
Learning journeys for every stage of life.
