Re-enrolling

Students who wish to re-enroll do not need to fill out a new application (skipping steps 1-5 in the enrollment process and moving to step 6: meet with an enrollment specialist).  These students will just need to have an enrollment specialist update their existing registration.

Students who have completed their objective and officially withdrawn at the conclusion of their training may re-enroll by establishing a new training plan and schedule without paying a reinstatement fee if they are continuing their training within one year six months from the withdrawal date. Students who are unenrolled for more than six months must meet with an academic advisor before reenrolling. 

Making Your Tuition Payments

Course-based enrollment enables you to enroll and pay for a full course vs. paying a monthly tuition and fees, which often causes confusion about the cost and timeframe for course completion. While this sounds like traditional education, students at Tooele Tech work in competency-based learning environments in which each student has their own course and schedule. During enrollment, students are given a specific day, based on their individual schedule, that the course must be completed. This is called the course end-date. 

Once you are enrolled in your program and sign up for your first course, you will be expected to pay the entire cost of the course upfront. 

What happens if I drop the course?

If you drop a course during the first two calendar weeks and have not submitted any work to be entered into your student record, you are eligible for a complete withdrawal from the course and a full refund of the course tuition and lab fee. 

 

FAQ's About Course-Based Enrollment

How long will I have to finish my course?

We calculate the course end-date by your actual scheduled hours, with consideration for non school days. The end date is printed on the student schedule and is available in Northstar. In order to ensure that you complete the course by the end date, it is helpful to complete your work in the time designated in course modules, or sections of the course.

When do I go to class?

You may choose the schedule that best supports your progress and success. At Tooele Tech, we require minimum enrollment of 12 hours per week for students enrolling in full programs unless instruction is only available fewer hours. Financial Aid students are required to schedule 12, 18 or 24 hours each week. Schedules for students with sponsoring agencies are determined by their sponsor.

What happens if I don't get the course done by the end date?

If you don’t complete the class in the required timeframe, you will need to reschedule the course and pay again. This is similar to what happens in traditional colleges when you take an incomplete or otherwise need to retake a course. If I retake a course, do I have to start from the beginning again and re-do all of the work? No. When you re-register for a course, you may begin at the last point you completed and work to the end of the course.

What happens if I get done early?

 If you complete the course work before the end date, you will register for the next class and get started right away. With competency-based instruction, you are not limited by semesters.

Do I get a refund if I finish the class early?

No. When you pay for a course, you are paying for the course – not for the time you spend completing it. Once you have completed the course, you’ve achieved your outcome. In other words, you are paying for your outcome.
