Continuing Education Registration Information

Registration is now in progress.

Students can register for community and continuing education courses through the mail, by fax or in person at the cashier's office at the college campus in Salisbury or at Wor-Wic's Berlin-Ocean City Instructional Center off Route 50 in Berlin. The college accepts VISA, MasterCard and Discover, and businesses can be billed for their employees who register for courses. Maryland senior adults, 60 years of age or older, can take most community and continuing education courses at a reduced rate on a space-available basis, but they must pay for any required fees and textbooks.

Advance payments by company check are welcomed from employers who pay for their employees' tuition and fees at the time of registration.

Upon receipt of the authorization and registration form(s), the regular refund/withdrawal policy applies and the invoice will reflect the prorated balance due when appropriate.

Tuition Waivers and Payment Plans
