Online using the registration form on the Continuing Studies webpage with an electronic check. There is no service fee for electronic checks.
Mailed in with a check or money order using the printable registration form on the Continuing Studies webpage or the registration form attached to most program brochures.
In person in the Registrar’s Office with the printable registration form or the registration form attached to most program brochures and a check, money order, or cash.
With a state voucher if tuition is paid for with Workforce Investment Act Funds. The state agency will be invoiced the tuition amount.

A student wishing to register for a Continuing Education program or course must observe the following:

Register no later than 4:00 on the day before the program or course begins – unless otherwise noted on the registration form or program or course information.

Learning materials for the many Continuing Education programs or courses are included with tuition; no separate purchase is required.
When a student independently purchases Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM®) course materials, the price of the learning materials will be deducted from the tuition – if the course materials are current (as specified by SHRM®).
If the SHRM® learning materials are not current (as specified by SHRM®), no refund will be given and the student will be charged the full tuition.
The cost of the textbook for the Coaching Certification course is not included in the tuition. Students may purchase the textbook in the College Bookstore.
Students who register for the Praxis 1 workshops will receive copies of the learning materials in the first class. However, a textbook that covers material for Praxis 1 and Praxis 2 exams is not included in the tuition and must be purchased separately.
