Walk-in registration is accepted at the Office of the Registrar, Downtown Campus, at the hours listed above. Payment in full is required at the time of registration.

If you have questions about which course may be right for you, please call our Continuing Education Advisor at (202) 298-2542.

Register Early!
Students may not attend class until they have registered and paid tuition and fees in full. Students are strongly encouraged to register early in order to secure a seat in their chosen courses. Many courses fill quickly and close before the registration period ends. Conversely, courses may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment. Please note that some classes require a prerequisite or instructor approval prior to the student's completion of registration. Late registration does not reduce the cost of tuition and fees.

Wait Lists
Once a course’s pre-set limit for the maximum number of students has been reached, the course is closed to new registrants. Individuals interested in the course may submit their registrations, but will be placed on a wait list in the Office of the Registrar. A student on a wait list is in no way considered a registrant and may not attend class without registering in full with clearance from the Office of the Registrar. Wait-listed students will be contacted if space becomes available. In fairness to other wait-listed students, the College can hold a space for only 24 hours after contacting the wait-listed student. After 24 hours, the next student on the wait list will be offered the open space.

Third-Party Registrations
The Corcoran cannot accept third-party registrations (i.e., for spouse, friend, relative, etc.) for students 18 years of age and older. Third-party registration information includes “personally identifiable information,” and is a violation of the College’s privacy policy.

Rights to Privacy
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended (FERPA), affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. For details, click here. Requests for information or records under FERPA should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.

Admission Requirements
Students enrolling in adult Continuing Education courses must be at least 18 years of age and have graduated from high school or have received a GED. For courses where prerequisites are required, students should ensure that they have met these stipulations by obtaining written approval from the Continuing Education Advisor, who can be contacted at ceadvisor@corcoran.org. The College reserves the right to remove any student whose prior course of study proves to be insufficient for success in a class.

Age Requirements for Youth Programs
Students enrolling in Camp Creativity, Aspiring Artists, and Pre-College classes and programs must meet the specified age requirements unless a special waiver has been granted from the Continuing Education Advisor. Occasionally, exceptions to the age requirements are granted for extraordinary youths who demonstrate both exceptional maturity and artistic talent. Special exceptions are granted for one specific course and may not carry over to other courses or semesters. To request an age exception, the student’s parent or guardian should contact the Coordinator of Youth Programs at (202) 639-1805.

International Students
Continuing Education registration does not satisfy the requirements of the F-1 status. Students with a valid visa are welcome to register. Students for whom English is a second language may be asked to provide a copy of their TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores. The minimum acceptable score is 213 on the computer exam.

Special Needs
Students with special needs or parents of children with special needs who may require accommodation are asked to notify the Office of the Registrar at the time of registration.

Code of Conduct
The Corcoran College of Art + Design reserves the right to dismiss any student whose conduct is detrimental to the College and its community or to the Gallery of Art. A student who is dismissed due to disciplinary action or behavioral disturbance is not entitled to a refund.

Student ID Cards
To ensure safety, students are required to carry their Corcoran student ID at all times. The cards are issued each semester for the duration of the class and mailed with the course schedule. Early registration is encouraged for timely receipt of ID cards by mail.

Students will be expected to present their Corcoran ID card and a picture ID card to gain access to the buildings. Students who have not received an ID card by the week before the class begins should call the Office of the Registrar at (202) 639-1820 to confirm registration. If a student ID card is lost or stolen, a replacement card may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar during regular office hours for a fee of $5. Students at the Georgetown Campus may be issued a magnetic student ID card at the security desk, at a cost of $20.

Voter Registration
Voter registration information is available in person from the Office of the Registrar at the Downtown Campus.
