CCOE expects members of the University community, including PST registrants, to be honest, and professional in all of their dealings with the institution. CCOE adheres to the academic integrity policies for undergraduate students if the PST course is not cross-listed with either an undergraduate or graduate-level course. If the PST course is cross-listed, then the undergraduate or graduate level academic integrity policies apply. For information on tuition and fees, see the section on Financial Information.

Effective for Professional Studies and Training courses (PST) starting fall 2019, all applicants must pay a non-refundable $35 application fee each term. This includes applicants who are eligible for a tuition waiver.
Gallaudet University Employees A regular status staff employee must satisfactorily complete the initial probationary period before the employee or eligible family member may enroll in the course for which tuition waiver is being requested. (This requirement does not apply to sign language classes for employees.) A regular status faculty member or teacher may enroll and apply for tuition waiver following the effective date of employment. Part-time employees and their family members are eligible to apply for a tuition waiver for one course per semester only. Employees and their eligible family members who have tuition waived are not eligible for University-sponsored financial aid programs designed to supplement tuition and lab fees. Eligible Gallaudet employees should complete an application and submit it with an approved Tuition Waiver Form to ccoe@gallaudet.edu or bring it to Kendall Hall 104. Applicants must satisfy the admissions requirements and adhere to all registration guidelines. Registration officials within the University determine the availability of space within the class following tuition-paying students admitted.
Currently Enrolled Gallaudet Undergraduate and Graduate StudentsMatriculated students (Gallaudet students enrolled in a degree program) should register through CCOE for PST prefixed classes. Note: PST tuition is waived for full-time Gallaudet undergraduate (12 credits) and graduate students (9 credits); part-time students are required to pay tuition and application fees. All matriculated students are responsible for an application fee, lab, test, material fees, and late fees. Application/tuition fees are waived for graduate and undergraduate students taking test preparation classes (Praxis and GRE).
