How to Register for ESL Classes
Spring 2021 Special Instructions:
This spring all ESL classes will be remote. Please note that we had hoped to bring some of our classes to campus, but due to the Covid19 situation, those classes will now be Structured Remote (SR). Here is what we are offering for Spring 2021:
- Structured Remote (SR)--will meet online only at scheduled dates and times. You will use Zoom, Blackboard, and other online tools. (This includes all classes labeled Hybrid, Rockville Campus, and Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus in the brochure or WDCE schedule.)
- Distance Learning (DL)--are online classes for students who need a flexible schedule. You can work at home at your own pace. Each week the instructor will let you know which lessons to work on in Blackboard, a learning management system. You will access videos, instructional materials and discussion forums. There will also be optional opportunities to meet with instructors and classmates over Zoom during the course of the semester.
- Internet: You must have reliable internet service and a computer or mobile device from which you can access Zoom and other websites and send and receive documents (email).
- Registration: You must register and pay online. When you register, make sure to pay or you will be dropped within 24 hours. If you are dropped, you will lose your place in class, and the class may be filled when you try to register again. The last day for online registration is March 22nd at 11:59p.m. After that, please contact Annette Greene at 240-549-2691 or Annette.greene@montgomerycollege.edu to see if you can register late.
- Customer Service: Call Customer Service at 240-567-5188 if you need help registering.
- Class Level: After your course begins, you may be moved to a different class if your teacher finds you are in the wrong level.
- In-state Tuition: You may qualify for in-state tuition (Maryland Resident), based on your visa status in the USA. Contact Customer Service at 240-567-5188 to find out if you qualify. Be ready to send a picture of your visa documents.
