Registration Information ...................... 20

Are there any special requirements to register for CE classes?Some CE classes do have special requirements, and therefore, you must register in person. These classes include all Health Sciences classes, Commercial Truck Driving, and Driver Education.

How do I pay for classes?Payment is due upon registration. If payment is not received within 24 hours after registration, your registration may be purged. Walk-in registrants may pay in person with cash, check, or credit card. Those who register by phone may use a credit card or check. Students who fax or email their registration should include credit card payment information on the form.

If you register online, you will be prompted to pay with a credit card during the registration process. If you choose not to pay at this time, your registration will not be processed.

When should I register?Registration for CE classes begins when classes are published online or in print. Registration continues up until the first day of the class or until the class fills. Early registration is encouraged as some classes fill quickly.

How are CE classes different than credit classes? CE classes differ in four primary ways. 1. While some classes may have some requirements to fulfill prior to registering, you do not have to apply to the college in order to enroll. 2. Our classes start throughout the year, rather than at set times during a college semester. 3. Our classes are generally fast-track, meaning that they are shorter in length in order to accommodate your schedule and your need for skills you can use immediately. 4. For classes that you successfully complete, you will receive a certificate of completion and in many cases you will also be awarded Continuing Education Units.
