Do I get college credit for continuing education courses?

Are all continuing and professional education courses taught by Texas A&M listed in the course catalog?
Not all programs and courses from various colleges and departments are included in the public course catalog.

Why do I need a CPED Canvas Account at Texas A&M if I have a Canvas account somewhere else?
Unfortunately, the various Canvas platforms do not communicate with each other. This means that registration information from another Canvas site will not transfer to CPED Canvas. Therefore, you will need to create a new Canvas account with us.
Your account at Texas A&M will allow you to access your course materials, learner record, and certificates of completion (if applicable) for any course taken in our catalog.
