Through its Fredonia Academy, Lifelong Learning offers many noncredit learning opportunities. SUNY Fredonia traces its roots to Fredonia Academy, which officially opened in 1826. To honor the college’s beginnings, Lifelong Learning launched a 21st century Academy. Here, faculty and staff share their knowledge and expertise with the college and surrounding communities – much like the Academy’s faculty did so long ago.

The Lifelong Learning Credit Program is designed for those who would like to begin (or restart) their college studies on a part-time basis. This program enables individuals to apply to SUNY Fredonia and enroll in regular undergraduate courses for credit. Although the application process is greatly simplified, Lifelong Learning students are held to the same academic standards as their matriculated colleagues – and experience the same high quality education. For community members who would like to partake in a college course but do not wish to earn college credit, course auditing is an option. By applying for course audit privileges, individuals can gain the knowledge imparted in many of the college’s regularly scheduled courses. For more information about these programs, please visit www.fredonia. edu/lifelong or phone Lifelong Learning at 716.673.3177.
