Evening Academic Program

Fall 2013 Registration Now Open! Registration Deadline: September 6, 2013

Overview

The Evening Academic Program (EAP) provides the educational foundation for a career in human resources management. It has been designed specifically to help individuals meet the academic course requirements necessary for completing the coursework requirement for the Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation.

Adult learners comprise the majority of our student population. As a result, classes remain relatively small in size (a maximum capacity of 34 to 36 people) to ensure an interactive environment where students are given the undivided attention  they require.

The EAP runs on a three semester schedule, with semesters beginning in the fall (September to December), winter (January to April) and spring (May to August). Course schedules for each of the EAP locations can be found here.

HRPA does not require prerequisite courses to be completed before registering in any of the Evening Academic Program courses. Courses can be completed in any order and do not have to be completed solely at HRPA. HRPA is not a degree-granting institution and, as a result,  there is no application process for entering the program. Individuals may simply register for courses as they wish and entry is subject to course availability only.

It is recommended that individuals registering for finance and managerial accounting, have at very least, a basic understanding of accounting concepts to ensure success in the course.

All requests to withdraw from a course must be sent in writing to the Office of the Registrar.

All refund requests are subject to a $25 administrative fee:

EAP students who withdraw from a course must return the textbook to HRPA before the course fees will be refunded. HRPA membership fees are not refunded as a result of withdrawing from a course.
