Interested in just taking a class or two?
If you are interested in just taking a class or two, you will not need to submit official transcripts or attend student orientation. Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for most forms of financial aid. However, you may be eligible for tuition reimbursement from your employer or the military. Our Resource Specialists will be happy to assist you with registration and answer any questions that you may have. Once registered, they will review and assist you with your Edison State email, WebAdvisor and Blackboard accounts.
Need to integrate work and school?
Edison State's online classes may be the solution. You can view a listing of our online offerings in the Academic Catalog. If you plan to enroll in online courses, you must demonstrate college-level proficiency in reading and writing AND successfully complete the Online Readiness Workshop. You may register for the workshop at the same time that you register for your online classes. If you have taken online classes previously, you may petition to waive the Online Readiness Workshop requirement.
