How Do I Get Started?
Registration Information Those interested in registering for a course must fill out a registration form and submit it to the Division of Extended Programs (DEP) at Western Oregon University. (Adobe Reader is required to view and print the form). You should register at least one week prior to the class start date in order to be assured of your participation in the class.
The instructor will NOT be able to register you at the class site.
Cost When registering for the course, each participant is required to purchase a set of materials ($95 for FTSE, $35 for BTW, and $35 for FOC). Materials from the Foundations course are used in each successive course.
Tuition for each course ($390) is paid by a grant from ODOT's Transportation Safety Division. This grant pays tuition one time per class. If a registrant receives an "F" and chooses to retake a course, they are responsible for paying the $390 tuition.
College Credit Those wishing to take Traffic Safety Education classes for graduate credit can do so at a cost of $50 per credit. Earning academic credit requires the completion of a graduate-level project within six weeks of the conclusion of the course. Participants must register and pay for the credits before the last class meeting.
Refunds To cancel registration and receive a refund of material fees paid, a cancellation notice must be faxed to 503-838-8473 or e-mailed to extend@wou.edu prior to the first class meeting. Your request must be in writing and signed.
There is no refund for credit tuition, but by dropping the credit option before the second class meeting, you will have no grade responsibility. Your request must be in writing and signed. Due to the time-sensitive nature, we recommend you fax (503-838-8473) your request to drop the credit option.
