Winter Quarter
Winter quarter registration is just around the corner. If you are a current Opportunity Grant student please be sure to contact me once you are ready to register. I need to put a "hold" on your classes so registration knows that you have secured funding.
If you are a potential student, please be sure that you have applied to the college and paid your $30 admission fee. You cannot register for classes or be issued a student ID # if you have not paid this fee.
If you need assistance registering, please contact me at (425)235-2352 ext. 5720. I am in the office from 7:30 am-4:00 pm.
