Helps with Admission and Registration to Washington State University

Admissions and Registration

I. Admissions

There are two parts to taking Internet classes from WSU. The first is a one-time Admission process. The second is the easy Registration or Enrollment for class.

Students wishing to register for WSU Engineering & Technology Management courses must be first be admitted as undergraduate or graduate student. Students who have earned their bachelors degrees MUST register in the 500-level section. The Admission fee is a one-time fee of $50 to be paid up-front when processing the Admissions paperwork. Later, the student Registrations or Enrollment in a course. The course cost varies from about $1200 (for students meeting Washington state residency requirements or those qualifying for tuition relief ) to about $3000 (for Internet and corporate rate students--these fees change over time).

The Admission process and the Registration process can be facilitated by our program secretary.

New students with undergraduate or graduate degrees earned in the USA, should apply early and have official transcripts requested to be sent directly from all colleges attended. These documents should be submtted no later than November 15 for courses beginning in the following January. This will allow you to be completely admitted by mid to late December. Admissions for classes starting in August, should submitt documents no later than May 15th. Students need to receive login/passworks and test/debug their Internet receiving capabilities well in advance of the start of the course.

New international students with undergraduate or graduate degrees earned outside the US should apply for admissionby October 1 for courses beginning the following January and by March 1 for classes starting in August. It take much longer to process overseas applications.

Continuing students do not need to be admitted again. They may register in the normal way using METRO (http://www.metro.wsu.edu)

Former students who have not attended in a previous semester (not including the short summer semester) will need to apply for re-enrollment. http://www.gradsch.wsu.edu/forms/Reenrollment.doc

Special Accelerated Registration Process for New Students (NOT TO BE USED BY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS UNLESS DIRECTED, this admission is extremely limited and should only be used if there is a time crunch, problems with undergraduate grades, or if the student only wants to take one class. All others should apply for regular admission and request official transcripts.)

1. Complete the following UND-G (Undecided Graduate) Application. http://www.gradsch.wsu.edu/forms/Und-g%20App%20Master.doc Send one copy to the WSU Graduate School at the address on the Form. Make sure and write legibly and send the $50 Processing Fee. This paper work should arrive at WSU before March 1st or November 15th . Email a second copy to the Engineering Management Program Secretary (so she can monitor your progress and help you if needed).
2. When you are admitted, you will be notified of your new WSU Identification number by letter or email (this may take two or more weeks after the Grad School processes your Application) and you will be allowed to register..

II. Registration

Once you are admitted, and have received your WSU Identification number, you need to go on-line and create a Network IDentification (NID) http://www.it.wsu.edu/Nid/new_user.html and password for yourself at http://www.it.wsu.edu/Nid/new_user.html. The Network Identification (NID) will give you access to the WebCT Classroom Software and other services on campus. When you create your NID make your NID something that helps faculty recognize it is you (a few initials followed by last name seems fine).

Once you are admitted and have a NID, go to www.metro.wsu.edu and, using your NID, you register for course by following the instructions. Try it first and if you have trouble contact Patti and she can help (only after you try and fail first and have a record in the system).

A schedule of the currently available classes is available under the Registration link at http://www.engrmgt.wsu.edu/. Select the semester and the SLN number (the course number and section) corresponding the the class you wish to take with the section indicating the physical location where you are most likely viewing the live course (or select the web streaming section if you are at a distance).

When registered, you will need to pay for class. This should happen after Nov 15 and before Jan 10th for January start and after July 15 before Sep 5th for August start courses. For instructions visit How to Pay. (Note to Boeing students:  For Boeing to pay you need to go to the Boeing Intranet and complete the Learning Together Program (LTP) forms. They will then send you a voucher and you will email the voucher to the Engineering Management Program Secretary at the address above. Also note, Boeing students must be register for class at least five days prior to the start of class and any incomplete must be cleared within 24 weeks after the course.)
