Our Initiatives
Extended University participates in a variety of cross-campus initiatives, some of which are grant-funded. Below are the current initiatives we are involved in:
Returning students to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ with the Department of Education Title V Grant
Extended University is proud to be part of a University-wide effort to help "stopout students" complete their degrees. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ received a $3 million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Education in Fall 2021. Offices across campus will work under this grant to focus on re-engaging and re-enrolling students who have not graduated and have paused enrollment for one semester or more. These students are known as stopouts.

Upskilling/reskilling our workforce through the AAS to BAAS Online at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ with the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities' Collaborative Opportunity Grant
