CONTINUING EDUCATION REGISTRATION
Many program classes will have open seats for continuing education registration. Open seats are available on a first-come first-serve basis for students not enrolled in certificate programs. Please register online under the course lists or contact the Registrar for information on registration.
CERTIFICATE PROGRAM ENROLLMENT
Program enrollment is required to earn a certificate. In addition, those enrolled in a program have registration seniority over those taking individual classes for continuing education. Program enrollment requires the completion of the following (4) steps:
- 1) Take the WEI Entrance Exam. This exam is offered for free. Please email the Registrar to schedule and sit for the exam.
- 2) Complete a Class Registration Form for your first class.
- 3) Complete a Debt Acknowledgement Agreement Form.
- 4) Complete an Enrollment Agreement Form.
LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE: After satisfactory completion of your enrollment paperwork you will receive a formal letter of acceptance from the Washington Engineering Institute. Your letter will include information on your program start date and first class of attendance. Please contact the Registrar if you have any questions regarding your letter of acceptance.
TUITION
We keep our tuition down with minimal administrative overhead, dedicated adjunct instructors, frugal private business practices, and shared use facilities.
- Most students just pay tuition monthly at $400 per class
- Tuition for a typical (9) class program year is $3,600
- Since we are a private school, our tuition is the same for both in-and-out of state students.
