Registration

Registration Policies

There is no fee for course registration or tuition. However, to be registered in a course, the applicant must meet the basic eligibility criteria (income and basic literacy skills) and a selection committee will evaluate course requirements and personal suitability. To complete and graduate in a course as a registered student, he/she must abide by the rules in the Student Handbook given at the time of the registration. Previously registered students and community residents of low income can get available support services without going through the registration process.
