Academic questions should be addressed to the Academic Information and Referral Center (AIR), (707) 826-4101, first floor, Student and Business Services Building.
Good Standing: Extended Education students whose cumulative grade-point average is 2.0 or above are considered in good academic standing.
Academic Probation: An Extended Education student will be placed on academic probation if at the end of a term the overall grade-point average is below 2.0 (C grade average).
Disqualification: If an Extended Education student is on academic probation and achieves a grade-point average below 2.0 for the following semester, the student will be academically disqualified. A disqualified student will be excluded from Extended Education for one academic year, after which that student may petition Extended Education for reinstatement. The student must demonstrate the ability to maintain the minimum grade-point average for Extended Education in order to be reinstated.
NOTE: HSU students who have been academically disqualified from the university will also be excluded from Extended Education/Open University for one academic year.
Registration in classes requires no formal application to the university. Transcripts or high school diplomas are not required to enroll. However, students may be required to provide proof of completion of course prerequisites to the instructor and/or department. There are no residency requirements.
Upon recommendation of their principal or counselor, high school students who have completed their sophomore year with a B (3.0) grade point average or better may register for courses at HSU. Contact the Office of Admissions at (707) 826-4402.
Registration through the Office of Extended Education does not constitute admission to HSU as a regularly enrolled student. If you are planning full or part-time enrollment in a regular program, review the HSU Admission Requirements and contact the Office of Admissions at (707) 826-4402 for deadline dates and procedures.
You may audit any credit-earning class without taking an examination or receiving a grade. Attendance at all classes is expected. You will pay the same fee as a credit enrollee.You must turn in an audit form with instructor signature when registering. You may obtain an audit form from Extended Education. You may not change from audit to credit status after instruction has begun.
A grade of "AU" will appear on the final grade roster, and the course and the "AU" grade will appear on the permanent record. There are no grade points earned nor are the units counted in earned, attempted or g.p.a. hours. Courses "audited" are not eligible for inclusion in the determination of full/part-time status.
The Office of Extended Education will attempt to notify students of any cancellations in course offerings. It is therefore important for students to register early and notify Extended Education of any changes to your address, phone number or e-mail.
For cancelled classes, full refunds for non-credit and Extension courses will be issued automatically. Open University students should contact Extended Education to request a refund. Please allow up to 6 weeks to receive a refund. Credit card refunds are in the form of a credit on account.
The HSU Children’s Center summer services will provide a full range of services with approximately two-thirds of the regular academic year enrollment. Services to be provided will include toddler and preschool care from 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. daily and meal service. The grant from the U.S. Dept. of Education to serve low-income student parents will be available during the summer. Due to limited space availability, please contact the Children’s Center as soon as possible at (707) 826-3838.
See the Children's Center website
Extended Education students may use computer labs on campus during open lab hours. An ID card with a current validation sticker is required. For information regarding schedules, locations, information, policies and problem reporting as well as information on obtaining and using an E-mail account, contact Information Technology Services, (707) 826-4357, or visit the website at http://www.humboldt.edu/~its/.
CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEU)
The CEU is a nationally-recognized unit of measurement for non-degree educational experiences. Some courses offer CEUs for relicensing or professional development purposes. CEU credit cannot be applied toward degrees. One CEU is awarded for each 10 hours of instruction (each hour of instruction equals 0.1 CEU)
HSU course numbers 100-499 are undergraduate level courses. 500-level courses satisfy both the advanced degree requirements for a baccalaureate degree and some portion of the requirements for a master’s degree. 600-level courses are open only to graduate students and 700-level is used for credential/licensure courses. Course numbers with an “X” are approved for Extension Academic Credit and are designed primarily for electives or professional development purposes.
Credential requirements are stated in the general catalog. Individual inquiries should be directed to the Credential Analyst, Academic Information and Referral Center (AIR), (707) 826-4101, Student and Business Services Building.
See the School of Education Credentials website
Students may opt to take some courses on a credit/no credit basis in place of a letter grade. To do so, students must complete the required form at the Office of Extended Education before half the course has elapsed. Note that only one class per semester may be changed tothis mode, no classes in the major area, and only 24 units of credit/no credit units (both mandatory and optional units) may be applied towards an undergraduate degree.
A “CR” grade will be recorded for an undergraduate course if the earned grade is C- or above, and B- for graduate courses.
The maximum Extension credit which can be accepted by Humboldt State University toward a bachelor’s degree requirement is 24 units, and not more than 8 units may apply to a master’s degree. Extension classes may count toward teaching and school service credential requirements. They do not meet specific requirements for degrees or credentials, but may be counted as elective credits. Lecture classes are required to meet 15 hours for each unit of credit.
Students with verified temporary or permanent disabilities may be eligible for a variety of academic support services. Services may include: exam accommodations, notetaking, readers, campus access assistance, interpreters, and disability management advisement. Submission of disability documentation and requests for services should be made as soon as possible to Student Disability Resource Center. For more information, please call (707) 826-4678 (voice) or 826-5392 (TDD) or visit the website.
All registered students are eligible for a personal e-mail account. Registered students will automatically have an e-mail account established. Refer to Computing Services & Labs for additional information.
This schedule of courses is subject to change. In the event of unexpected room changes, please contact the Office of Extended Education. Extended Education will attempt to notify students of any changes in course offerings. It is therefore important for students to register early and notify Extended Education of any changes to your address, phone number or e-mail.
The Office of Extended Education reserves the right to substitute instructors for any of its classes.
For courses awarding academic credit, letter grades (A-F) are received unless the course is audited or taken for Credit/No Credit (CR/NC). If you wish to audit a course, you register and pay the same fees as students enrolled for credit. An Incomplete (I) may be assigned when you are unable to complete the course requirements within the official period of the course. An incomplete must be made up within one calendar year from the end of the course or the grade automatically converts to an F.
Grades are available approximately two weeks after the semester ends. Grades are available though the HSU Web Information system.
To access your information on the web, you will need your HSU ID Number (refer to “ID Numbers”) and a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Your PIN is six numeric digits. Until you change your PIN, the first two digits are the month of your birth, and the remaining four are the year you were born.
To protect the confidentiality of your records, it is very important that you CHANGE your PIN immediately! Knowledge of your HSU ID Number and PIN allows access to your grades, schedule, student account and fiscal information, so keep these numbers as safe and secure as you would your debit or credit card numbers. Select six numbers that you can easily remember. If you forget your PIN, it can be reset through the HSU website. On the “User Login” page, click on the “Forgot PIN?” link and follow the directions.
NOTE: if you don’t know your ID #, you can use your social security number without the dashes as your ID # to enter the WebReg system.
Extended Education students enrolled in fall and spring concurrent enrollment courses (Open University) equivalent to at least six units per semester are eligible to use the Health Center on a fee-for-service basis. Services are limited to care of basic illness and injury; there is a visit fee of $25. The Health Center is closed in the summer. Contact the Health Center at (707) 826-3146 for more information.
See the Health Center website for details
Holds are placed on student accounts for any debts owed to the university, or for certain non-monetary reasons. These holds will prevent you from registering, receiving grades and transcripts, etc. You will need to allow one business day after clearing a hold before attempting to register or receive other services.
Extended Education students are eligible for on-campus student housing facilities with proof of registration for classes; however, space is very limited. For more information, contact Housing & Dining Services: (707) 826-3451.
See the Housing and Dining website
All HSU students have a generated HSU Identification Number; often referred to as an HSU ID #. Your HSU ID # is a 9-digit number. It appears on the upper left side of your printed class schedule. (NOTE: if you don’t know your ID #, you can use your social security number without the dashes as your ID # to enter the HSU Web Information system.)
Your HSU ID # should be used in every HSU correspondence. Please make note of the ID # and use it whenever you are conducting business with HSU, as a protection from identity theft.
If you register for an Extended Education course, you have an option to purchase a Student ID card for $5. You must first pay this fee at Extended Education, then take your fee receipt to the HSU library, where you will have your photo taken for your ID card. The laminated ID Card will be made while you wait.
Each semester when you register for a class through Extended Education, you may request a new validation sticker for your ID card. The sticker adheres to the front of your ID card. This sticker validates your ID card for that specific semester.
A Student ID card is necessary for access to the HSU library and computer labs, the purchase of educationally-priced software and computers from the HSU Bookstore, and discounts and discounted admission to athletic events.
Other valid Student ID Card benefits include the Jackpass, which is available from Student Financial Services at a discounted rate of $15 per person per semester. The Jackpass offers unlimited access to buses of the Arcata and Mad River Transit System, the Redwood Transit System and the Eureka Transit System.
Use of the HSU Student Recreation Center at a rate of $48 per term is also an option available with a valid Student ID card. The Recreation Center offers a variety of cardiovascular and weight training, an indoor track and a climbing wall. Show your valid ID Card and pay the fee at the Recreation Center.
Unless otherwise specified in program literature, a $25 late fee will be applied if registration is not received and paid prior to the second class meeting for Extension courses or by the end of the second week of classes for Open University classes. In addition, late registrations will not be accepted after the 3rd class meeting for Extension courses.
Instructors may exclude a student from attending courses until the student is able to provide proof of registration.

Students are required to provide the University with their social security numbers (individual taxpayer identification numbers) pursuant to the authority contained in Section 41201, Title 5, California Code of Regulations, and Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code. The University uses the social security number to verify records pertaining to the student and, if needed, to collect debts owed the University. Also, the Internal Revenue Service requires the University to file information returns that include the student's social security number and other information such as the amount paid for qualified tuition, related expenses, and interest on educational loans. That information is used to help determine whether a student, or a person claiming a student as a dependent, may take a credit or deduction to reduce federal income taxes (see Tax Credits). Students who do not have a social security number at the time of enrollment will be required to obtain a social security number and submit it to the University within 60 days. Failure to furnish a correct social security number may result in a penalty by the Internal Revenue Service.
Students will be assigned a unique HSU ID number for identification purposes (refer to "ID Numbers") but the social security number will stil be required for other verification purposes.
The credit conferred by Special Session classes is similar to that awarded during the regular academic program, i.e., resident credit, and may meet specific requirements for degrees or credentials.
A maximum of 24 semester units in Open University and special session earned through Extended Education in non-matriculated status may be applied toward a bachelor's degree, and not more than eight units may apply to the master's degree.
If you are enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program or are taking courses to acquire or improve job skills, you may qualify for a Hope Scholarship or Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. The Hope Scholarship tax credit is available only to students in their first two years of postsecondary education who are enrolled at least half-time in an eligible program. The Lifetime Learning tax credit is available to students at all educational and enrollment levels who are enrolled at an eligible educational institution. The tax credits are based on the amount of qualified tuition and fees, less grants and other tax-free educational assistance, and the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income. Hope credits apply to fees paid after December 31, 1997 and the Lifetime Learning credit applies to fees paid after June 30, 1998. Consult IRS Publication 970 or your tax preparer for additional information.
