You’ll apply to the program on MyContinuum, our student app. MyContinuum helps you seamlessly manage the enrollment process and more.
Before you apply, carefully read the admissions requirements on the Requirements tab above. In the application, you’ll be asked to confirm that you meet these requirements.
If you have any questions, or want to make sure this program is right for you, reach out to Enrollment Services at enroll@pce.uw.edu or 800-506-1325.
Complete the online application on the MyContinuum app. You’ll need to create an account first. If you already have a UW NetID, choose that option. Otherwise, sign in with a Google or Apple account.
Next, pay the $50 nonrefundable application fee through MyContinuum. Your application is not complete until you pay this fee.
Once you’re accepted, we’ll ask you to complete a questionnaire on MyContinuum to help us learn more about you. Then you’ll get details about how to register and pay for your course.
To ensure your spot in class, we recommend that you register by the priority registration deadline, which is four weeks before class begins. After that time, we may release your seat to another student. The final registration deadline is two days before the course starts.
To apply, you must have ONE of the following:
Including time in class, you should expect to spend about eight to 10 hours per week on coursework. In addition to this, you will need to spend time completing your final project (estimated at 30 hours of work total).
