ADMISSION

Adults wishing to pursue any classes must:

• Schedule an appointment to meet with the Coordinator of Adult Education.

• Complete a registration form.

REGISTRATION

Registration is taken Monday through Thursday from 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. and on Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at MTEC beginning on the dates listed on the website, and in “It’s Your Turn” (the course schedule for Adult and Community Education). 

TUITION AND FEES 

Tuition, which is due at registration, covers the cost of the class only and does not include books, lab fees, or supplies.  Some classes require an additional lab fee.  Textbooks and supplies are the responsibility of the individual student.  Certain safety equipment such as welding gloves and safety glasses may be purchased in the main office of the Technical Education Center.  A textbook list with ISBN numbers for all courses will be provided prior to the start of each semester.  Textbooks will need to be purchased before the first night of classes. 

FINANCIAL AID 

Evening classes are considered part-time, therefore Title IV Pell Grants and loans are not available.  Some students may secure assistance through the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation or Veterans benefits.  In some cases, there are scholarship monies that may apply to the evening classes.

​WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS

Refunds will be issued only under the following circumstances:

• Classes are canceled in which case a full refund will be given.

• A refund is requested before the class begins or before the second class meeting.   

Students wishing to withdraw from an individual adult class must notify the Coordinator or Secretary of Adult Education.  Failure to inform the Adult Education office will result in grades of “F” being recorded for those classes in which the student enrolled.

Students may withdraw from any technical class with a “W” before the end of the 7th class.  Withdrawals after this date will be recorded as “F”.

Registration for adult education classes does not automatically carry with it the right to a refund or reduction of indebtedness in cases of inability to attend class or in cases of withdrawal. 

SCHEDULE CHANGES

Students must arrange all schedule changes through the Coordinator of Adult Education.

REPEATING A COURSE

Students may repeat a class for additional knowledge, all regular fees will apply.  Ask the Coordinator of Adult Education for additional information.
