Enrollment begins in May for certificate programs starting in the Fall Quarter. All students, including current Evergreen students, must complete this form no later than 2nd Friday of the last quarter of the certificate.
2. Pay Enrollment Fee
After completing the enrollment form the enrollment fee will be due. The enrollment fee amount is dependent on a student's enrollment status at Evergreen. Visit the Costs and Aid page for more information about the tuition costs for certificates.
