Scores/transcripts are submitted to the Director of Concurrent Enrollment at Wenatchee Valley College by the high school teacher or high school administrator, who ensures student has qualified to enroll in the CHS course.  If the course has additional prerequisites outside of the placement rubric, student must provide documentation of meeting the requirement to the Director of Concurrent Enrollment.  Qualifying students must enroll in the CHS course on their high school campus in order to receive college credit.  The Director of Concurrent Enrollment will then work with high school administrator and qualified students to complete the WVC registration process. Registration is completed on paper and submitted to WVC for processing to ensure that CHS students are enrolled in the specified sections for their high school.  Students must then pay tuition by the 20^th day of class (unless it is paid by school district), in order to avoid being withdrawn from the course.

All CHS courses are $35 per credit hour. This is deeply discounted from the usual $110 per credit hour. Tuition for one course is $175, and is assessed a $30 administrative fee.  Total cost for one course is $205. Tuition is due no later than the 20^th day of class.

Methods of Payment:

OVER THE PHONE:  Call the Cashier’s Office at 509.682.6500.  Have your Student Identification Number and credit or debit card ready.

IN PERSON:  You can also make your payment in person, especially if you prefer to pay with cash or check.  The Cashier’s office is located on the first floor of Wenatchi Hall, next to Registration or the Administration Building in Omak.

*Some school districts have state subsidies that can be applied to the cost of CHS courses. Be sure to check with your high school regarding whether or not they have been awarded this funding before you pay your tuition.

 CHS students have the right to withdraw from their courses if they choose.  Withdrawal can take place up until the 10th week of the high school term in which the CHS course is being offered.  Students must first notify their CHS instructor that they wish to withdraw.  Next they need to immediately notify the CHS Director.  Finally, the student will need to complete the the Course Change form found at this link (or in the CHS Student Handbook) and return it to the CHS Director as soon as possible. Any withdrawal forms received after the published last date to withdraw on the CHS Academic Calendar, will not be processed and the student will remain in the course. 

Tuition refunds will be allocated as follows:

Withdrawal on or before the fifth business day following the date of registration for CHS course=100% refund

Withdrawal after the fifth day and through the 20th business day following date of registration=50% refund
