As we get closer to registration for the summer 2018 session, I wanted to contact those of you who inquired about the traffic safety classes offered through Central Washington University. The dates for summer session are June 18 to July 27 (most of our courses will end July 26) and will be offered in Bellingham, WA only. There are two main things that need to take place relatively soon. The first is to apply for summer school through CWU. This can be done via the web at: http://www.cwu.edu/registrar/sites/cts.cwu.edu.registrar/files/documents/Non-Matriculated_Application_Form.pdf Most of you will be non-matriculated students. If you have difficulty or need assistance with applying or registration issues, contact Dawn Varnum (registrar’s office) directly at 509-963-3033. Once you apply for summer school, you will be given a CWU ID, pin #, etc. Please let me know via email at [email protected] when you have completed this.
When you email me, I need the following:
Your full name
Date of birth
CWU ID
I will then give Dawn the “ok” to register you in the courses. Please note registration begins April 30th. We are expecting a full class and enrollment is limited. Four courses needed You will be registering for four courses: SED 382, SED 481, SED 482, and SED 484. The following schedule is the most current: SED 382 Driver Task Analysis meets 7:30 – 8:40 Monday – Thursday from June 18 – July 26 SED 482 Teaching TSE: Behind-the-Wheel meets 8:50 -10:00 Monday – Thursday from June 18 – July 26
SED 482 lab will meet between 10:00 and 2:00 for arranged lab times
SED 481 Teaching TSE: Classroom & Simulation meets 1:30 – 3:30 Monday – Thursday from June 18 – July 26 SED 484 meets during the following times: (note: some sessions may be web-based. Dates and times subject to change)
June 22 8:00 a.m. – 5 p.m.
June 23 8:00 a.m. – Noon
July 3 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

July 19 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
July 20 8:00 a.m. – Noon (SED 484 concludes on this day)
IMPORTANT Everyone enrolled in SED 481 and/or SED 482 needs to have fingerprint clearance before the start of class. This can take some time, so I encourage you to do this as soon as possible. It is highly recommended to do this at and Educational Service District as they scan prints electronically. This typically gets results faster than at law enforcement agencies which can take several weeks. The following web address is a link to the state’s ESDs and has phone and address information: http://www.k12.wa.us/maps/ESDmap.aspx If you already hold a teaching certificate, you do not need to have your prints done again. You would have already had this done and on file at OSPI. Our certification office can verify if this has been done.
