What will the classes cost me?
There is no cost to the individual faculty or staff member.

Where are the classes held?
Most classes take place in the Management Training Center, located on the lower level of the Administration Building and at the Elkhart Lifetime Learning Center.

When do I register?
Continuing Education computer classes fill quickly and often have waiting lists. Therefore, you are encouraged to register as soon as possible, ideally a minimum of one week before the start of the class.

Submit your registration form to IT for authorization at least three days before the class is scheduled. Once your class registration is authorized, IT will forward it to Continuing Education.

What if I can't attend a class after I've registered?
If you are unable to attend a class, you must notify Continuing Education at least one working day prior to the class to accommodate those who may be on the waiting list.

What if the class I want is filled?
Choose another section or place your name on Continuing Education's waiting list. If there is a cancellation, Continuing Education will notify you and give you the opportunity to enroll. If a number of people are on the wait list, Continuing Education will try to offer another section of the filled class.

How do I register?

1. Print out and complete the registration form.
2. Obtain the necessary supervisor approval (staff only for selected courses).
3. Mail or fax the registration form to:

   Office of Information and Technologies
