Important Pre-Registration Information

Using Tuition Waiver

There is a minimum non-waiver enrollment capacity requirement for all classes (both live and online) before students using waivers will be registered for classes. When CPE receives your registration, it will be placed in a pending registration file and as soon as your course reaches its minimum capacity requirement your registration will be processed. You can confirm your course registration using your SPIRE account.
