Registration Information

Online registration in Adult Education is always open; however, enrollment in most classes ends approximately 10 days before classes begin. For all students over 18 years of age, the registration must be submitted by the student with their own ParentVUE account; registrations may not be submitted by another person.

After your registration is submitted and reviewed by the Adult Education office, students will receive an acceptance email with follow-up class enrollment information. A pre-assessment is required before enrolling in any Adult Education classes. The email from the Adult Education office will have links to register for your pre-assessment. After your pre-assessment, a staff member will assist you in enrolling in class. Your non-refundable tuition payment is due at the time of your pre-assessment/class enrollment.
