    Late Registration

    Late Registration: Eligible students may register for a full program during the first two weeks of any semester. Written approval of all course instructors and payment of all fees/costs, including Late Registration fees, are required before course enrollment is verified. With approval by the Academic Admissions & Standards Committee and written permission of course instructors concerned, eligible students showing academic ability may register for a reduced load during the third week of any Fall/Spring Semester, the first week of Summer Session, or the first day of workshops or other time-shortened courses. No enrollment for credit courses will be accepted after the third week of a regular semester, after the first week of Summer Session, or after the first day of workshops of other time-shortened courses.

    Tech Prep

     

    TECH PREP is a technical education program that helps prepare students for both employment and continuing education. Tech Prep creates the opportunity for students to earn advanced placement credit for high school classes that relate and lead to associate degrees or certification programs in technical career fields. ARTICULATION agreements from many Montana high schools help students earn credit toward a degree. You can save time and money for classes you have already taken in high school by transferring those credits. And, once you have obtained your Associate of Applied Science Degree (AAS), you may decide to continue your education in your chosen field. A Bachelor of Applied Science Degree (BAS) is available to you by transferring credits already earned to a four year institution. For more information, please contact:  Denise Holland, Instructor, UM-Western Business Department.
