   I.   REFERENCES:
   
        Policy on Administration of Continuing Education Programs, issued by
        Vice President McCorkle, July 28, 1972. Also published in University
        of California Planning and Budget Manual, Chapter 8013.
   
   II.  POLICY:
   
        A.   University Extension shall be responsible for programming and
             administering all continuing education programs, consistent
             with University policy as enunciated in the Guidelines
             Governing the Organization of University Extension.
   
        B.   Continuing education programs are defined as those educational
             activities such as classes, lecture series, conferences,
             workshops, seminars, short courses, correspondence courses,
             community education and development programs (whether for
             credit or non-credit), offered by the University of California
             to other than students formally registered in the University's
             degree programs or participating in intern and resident
             programs. In addition, other regular campus programs as
             designated by the Chancellor are included in this definition.
   
             Specifically exempted from this policy are:
   
             1.   Regular Summer Session programs;
   
             2.   Programs designed by Agricultural Extension for which no
                  credit is given or fees charged;
   
             3.   Cultural events and public lectures sponsored and
                  administered by a campus Committee on Arts and Lectures or
                  its equivalent:
   
             4.   Cultural events and public lectures sponsored and
                  administered by a campus research or instructional unit
                  for which no credit is given or fees charged.
             5.   Meetings of learned societies hosted by instructional
                  units*; and
   
             6.   Non-credit training programs primarily for University
                  faculty, staff and students.
   
             When campus units wish to co-sponsor continuing education
             programs with University Extension, the campus Director,
             University Extension, should be involved in the early planning
             stages.
   
             * Note:   For the purposes of this policy, a learned society is
               a formally constituted, non-profit organization composed of
               members who are interested in a particular discipline (or
               branch or groups of disciplines) and who are primarily
               devoted to the student and advancement of knowledge in those
               disciplines. Also included, for University purposes, are (1)
               organizations where the primary emphasis is upon the
               application of knowledge or upon professional advancement, or
               (2) organizations whose major purpose is the granting of
               recognition, through the extension of membership, for
               achievement in any area of knowledge.
