- Complete the Visiting Student Prerequisite Approval Request form
If a course has prerequisites that you have already completed, you must provide a transcript for verification. Transcripts may be attached to the form upon submission or uploaded directly to your applicant portal. Upon submission of the form and review, decisions and follow-up instructions will be sent to your personal email account.
- Activate your Wake Tech student email account
Type in your Key Account username followed by @my.waketech.edu. Use your Key Account password for Office365.
- Sign up for New Student Orientation
Orientation is required for first-time students, but all students are encouraged to attend.
- Prepare for online classes
Students must complete the e-Learning Intro module before registering for an online course.
- Check registration dates
Visiting students are not assigned a registration priority date in Self-Service. This will remain blank in your portal. The Registration & Records Office lists the assigned date registration opens for visiting students.
- Select your class(es), register and pay tuition
Plan your courses, then select "Register" and pay for classes via Self-Service. If your residency was completed some time ago, it may be expired. Check your Residency Determination Service account to ensure the residency number expiration date is after the first day of classes for your desired term.
