About Us  

The Directors of Summer School formed an organization in August 1963 to study the possibilities for cooperative action. In the spring of 1973, a new organization Atlantic Provinces Association for Continuing University Education (APACUE) was formed and the Constitution was adopted at the inaugural meeting. APACUE maintains an informal relationship with the Association of Atlantic Universities (AAU).

Aims/Objectives

To provide a forum for university personnel associated with credit, non-credit, university extension, and university continuing education programs whereby the concept of continuing education as an integral function and responsibility of the university may be promoted and developed.

This is accomplished by:

  • promoting closer relations and providing for the inter-change of information and ideas among university continuing education faculty and staff;
  • focusing public attention on the importance of university continuing education for adults;
  • encouraging in-service and graduate training of existing and potential university continuing education staff;
  • cooperating with the Canadian Association for University Continuing Education (CAUCE) and its institutional members in the advancement of university continuing education;
  • serving in an advisory capacity to the Association of Atlantic Universities and other bodies on matters relating to university continuing education;
  • working with other groups and institutions involved in continuing education.
