Governors State University School of Extended Learning

About Us

Whether re-skilling to re-enter the workforce, preparing for academic entrance exams, or earning a certification to land a promotion; your next chapter begins here.

The School of Extended Learning (SXL) is committed to helping you conquer your next personal or professional goal. We know that on campus daytime classes are not possible for all students, especially adult learners, because of work, family, or active military service. SXL programs are designed to meet the continuing education needs of adults in every stage of life with flexible online certification programs, online career training courses, lifelong learning, holistic health, cannabis certification courses, and more. Many programs are approved for Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act/WIOA funding, so you might qualify to re-train for free. Explore your next life transition with us!
