Enrollment Confirmation
You will receive confirmation of your enrollment by mail approximately two weeks after your application is received. If you do not receive a confirmation letter, contact us at cpso@gallaudet.edu or call (202) 448-7272.

Course Cancellation
Gallaudet University reserves the right to cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment. Course cancellation decisions are made three weeks before the first day of class. Please provide us with a daytime phone number or valid email address; we will contact you to make alternative course selections if your class is cancelled. We recommend that you NOT make travel arrangements until you receive confirmation regarding your course(s) and enrollment.

Transferring Credits
While Professional Studies credits (PST) do not apply to degree pro­grams at Gallaudet University, they may be transferable to other univer­sities. If you wish to transfer Gallaudet credits to your home institution, it is your responsibility to obtain approval from your home school to make sure they will apply to your degree.

Grades/Transcripts
Grades are issued approximately three weeks after the last day of summer school. No grades will be issued to students who owe a balance. Students may obtain a transcript of their academic record from the Registrar’s Office for a nominal fee. Please contact the Registrar’s Office directly at (202) 651-5393 (tty/v), or submit an online request at gallaudet.edu/x4469.xml.

Gallaudet Matriculated Undergraduate and Graduate Students
Matriculated undergraduate and graduate students must register for classes through the Registrar’s Office unless registering for a “PST” prefixed course.  If registering for a PST course, complete the summer Application/Course Registration/Payment form and submit it to HMB S-141 for processing.  There are no additional charges for full-time Gallaudet students.  The processing fee only is waived for part-time students.

International Students
International students interested in coming to the United States and taking courses at Gallaudet University must complete the VISA Information Form. The completed form must accompany your registration material. A B-1/B-2 Tourist Visa that is annotated for a short course of study allows you to visit the USA and participate in a course, workshop, or other training event while you are here. If, however, you are interested in attending Gallaudet University to obtain a degree or certification, you must have an F-1, J-1 or permanent residency status. Due to the time constraints in processing I-20s or DS-2019s, applications must be received in our office before April 30, 2010. If you already have an F-1, J-1 or permanent residency status, we must have your application at least 3 weeks prior to the start of your class. It is impor­tant to note that payment must be sent in full (international money order payable to Gallaudet University or by wire transfer) before an I-20 or DS-2019 can be processed. If you already have a Visa or a green card, you must submit a copy with your application. The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) allows citizenship of some countries to travel to the U.S. for business or pleasure for up to 90 days without obtaining a B-1/B-2 visa stamp. You must ensure that your VWP is notated for a short course of study if you plan on participating in a short course, workshop or training.

Payment Procedures
Full payment MUST accompany the completed application form. Applications without payment in full will not be processed. Check your calculations prior to submittal. Payment may be made by check, credit card (AMEX, VISA and MasterCard) or money order.

Vocational Rehabilitation (VR)/Employer-Paid Tuition
If your tuition will be paid by VR or your employer, the appropriate paperwork must accompany your application. Complete instructions as to how our office is to bill the authorizing agent must also be included.

Consortium Students
Students registering for courses through the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area do so through their home institution and pay that institution’s tuition fees. Follow the REGISTRATION STEPS outlined below. All classes held on campus will be conducted in American Sign Language unless otherwise specified in the course description. Students registering for an ASL or interpreting course must also complete the ASL/INTERPRETING QUESTIONNAIRE.
