Application vs. Registration
Application
The first step toward career success is applying for admission into one of the 16 technical colleges and submitting a $30 application fee. Once the college has received the application form and the $30 fee, you have begun the process toward an exciting new career. Your future college will guide you toward registration. If you are only interested in taking one course and not interested in enrolling in a particular program or study area (to receive a degree or diploma), you do not need to complete the application process.
 
Registration
Registration is the process of signing up for particular classes. This process varies, depending on whether you are a new or continuing student in a technical diploma or degree program, or are taking a class at a technical college but not pursing a technical diploma or degree. If you are interested in registering in a class without enrolling in a program or study area, contact the technical college of your choice for a list of classes available.
