University Centers

Central Washington University has seven campus locations in addition to the residential campus in Ellensburg. The University Centers offer upper-division (300- and 400-level) and graduate-level coursework leading to baccalaureate and master’s degrees. Day and evening classes are offered to accommodate the needs of time- and place-bound students. Visit the webpage at www.cwu.edu/programs/cwu-campus-locations.

UNIVERSITY CENTER POLICIES

Admission
If a graduate degree program or course is offered at a University Center, students must submit an application through the School of Graduate Studies and Research.

Registration
Students typically register through MyCWU.

Tuition

Some Center courses are offered through the Continuing Education department and may have a different tuition schedule. Visit the Continuing Education web site at www.cwu.edu/ce/ to determine if your degree program is through this office. All tuition and fees are subject to change.

Student Services
Information for services that accommodate physical- and learning-disabled students, career placement, or counseling is available by contacting your specific university center.

Financial Aid
Students attending a university center are eligible to apply for financial aid. You can apply online at studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. For more information about financial aid, visit www.cwu.edu/financial-aid. All students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to begin the process.
