Adult Course Registration

Registration Periods - As a general rule, courses will have three registration periods: Early, Regular and Late.

• The Early Registration Period begins when the registration first becomes available and ends on a designated date. If you register during the the Early Registration Period for a Course, you will automatically receive a designated Early Registration Discount off the Regular Course Tuition.
• The Regular Registration Period begins the day after the Early Registration Period Ends and ends on a designated date. If you register during the the Regular Registration Period for a Course, you will pay the Regular Course Tuition.
• The Late Registration Period begins the day after the Regular Registration Period Ends. If you register during the the Late Registration Period for a Course, you must pay the Regular Course Tuition plus the Late Registration Fee.

Returning Student Discount - For in-person classes only: Registrants who have already taken or are already taking a language course from German Southwest as of the time of registration will receive a 10% discount off of the Regular Tuition for the course for which they are registering.
