You will be required pay for the classes out of pocket or through a third party. You can use the undeclared non-degree seeking student registration form. Submit this form during the open registration period.
Students who have been absent less than 5 years, can reactivate their file and must comply with the admissions requirements that are in effect by checking out the current admissions requirements as listed on this page. Students should contact the Admissions Specialist to reactivate their file and will also need to verify address, phone and email to update any changes. Students will only be able to select current majors with the current catalog year as a major choice.
The only exceptions for waiving the application fee are the following:
Use the payment link on the final application page to securely pay your fee with a credit/debit card. If you've already applied, you can and go to bills and payments to pay the fee.

Students wanting to be admitted to 抖阴pro and use financial aid will begin the process by submitting an application and paying the $20 non-refundable application fee.
