University Centers


Central Washington University has six campus and two instructional 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 and instructional sites offer a combination of Running State, baccalaureate and masters degrees. The University Centers are designed for students who have completed their Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) associate degree or most of their general education requirements. Day and evening classes are offered to accommodate the needs of time- and place-bound students. Visit us at www.cwu.edu/programs/cwu-campus-locations for more information.

For more information about the University Centers, contact Dr. Ediz Kaykayoglu, Dean of Extended and Global Education at Extendedglobal@cwu.edu.

UNIVERSITY CENTER POLICIES

Admission
Students interested in entering a university center program may submit an application at www.cwu.edu/admissions.

Registration
Continuing students follow the same procedures as noted in the registration part of this catalog. Students may register via MyCWU, phone, or in-person during their assigned enrollment appointment. Non-matriculated students may register for classes on a space-available basis during open enrollment.

Advising
General transfer advising and specific program advising is available by contacting your university center for an appointment, or by contacting CWU’s Transfer Center. Final official transcripts must be received for articulation of all transfer courses.

Tuition
See current tuition rates and fees or refer to the Office of the Registrar home page at www.cwu.edu/registrar. Continuing Education courses are offered on a self-support basis. The self-support tuition schedule is separate from full-time tuition and fees. Visit the Continuing Education web site at www.cwu.edu/ce/. 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. Students may 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.
