If you are familiar with the program and application process, you can apply online or print the application form. Admission Requirements
Individuals who have successfully completed the UW certificate in C Programming, C++ Programming, Perl Programming or Visual Basic Programming are automatically accepted. See below for details of the application process. English Proficiency: Students who are non-native English speakers are expected to have adequate English language proficiency. For details, see English Language Guidelines. International Students: This program does not qualify as full-time study, and therefore does not meet requirements for an F-1 visa. However, if you are an F-1 student currently enrolled full-time in another program, OR you are in the U.S. on some other type of visa (not F-1), you may be eligible to take a certificate program or course. For complete details, or to contact an adviser, see Visa Information. Laptop Requirement There is a laptop requirement for this course. Students are expected to bring their own laptop (Linux, Windows, or Mac) to the classroom, so that they can work in their own environment. Some classes on distributed Ruby may be lab-based. Application Process The 2008-2009 program begins in October 2008. Applications are now being accepted and will be reviewed in the order they are received through August 25, 2008. After this date, you are encouraged to call 206-685-8936 or e-mail us to learn if a program is still accepting applications.
To Apply: You can apply online or submit one copy of the application form with a $50 certificate program fee* and two stapled application sets, which include the following clearly labeled documents:
Application Review: Applications are evaluated by criteria designated by the advisory board. Selection of program participants is based on the applicant's experience, skills and knowledge of internet and web development basics, and the clarity, organization and persuasiveness of the letter of application. The description of a multimedia project will be judged on how realistically and thoughtfully it has been defined. Applicants receive written notification of their acceptance or non-acceptance within two weeks after their application is received. Enrollment: Applicants accepted to the program receive enrollment information for the first-term course and are encouraged to make their fall tuition payment early. Enrollment in the program is on a first-come, first-served basis, upon receipt of the first-term tuition payment. Waitlist: Some programs maintain a waitlist for applicants accepted after the program has reached enrollment capacity. If space becomes available, waitlisted applicants will be notified and given an opportunity to enroll. If space does not become available, waitlisted applicants will be offered a space in the next program offering. * The certificate program fee is not refundable and does not guarantee admission to, or enrollment in, the program. **Individuals who have successfully completed the UW C Programming Certificate Program, the UW C++ Certificate Program, the UW Perl Programming Certificate Program, or the UW Visual Basic Programming Certificate Program are automatically accepted, and are not required to submit résumés or letters, but must provide the application form indicating successful completion of the prerequisite certificate program, and the $50 nonrefundable certificate program fee. Fees and Tuition Tuition is payable on a term-by-term basis. Tuition for the entire program is $1,857, excluding certificate program and registration fees and textbooks. There is a $50 nonrefundable certificate program fee to apply to this program and a $35 nonrefundable registration fee each term. First-term tuition of $619, plus the nonrefundable registration fee, is due by September 24, 2008. Tuition includes all instructional costs and use of specialized software, networked PCs and other computing resources during class meetings. The cost of textbooks and supplies (such as cartridges and diskettes for data storage) for projects is not included. Fees and tuition are subject to change. Information on registration and refund policies and procedures is included with registration materials. Earning the Certificate Participants are evaluated in each course on the basis of standards established by the advisory board and instructors. At the end of each course, participants are notified of successful or unsuccessful completion. Because courses are arranged sequentially, participants need to successfully complete classes in the previous term before they advance to the next term. When the required courses are completed in these noncredit programs, participants earn a certificate, which is presented at the annual UW Extension awards ceremony. Single-Course Enrollment
