The Pre-Registration List

To help ease the college registration for our CTECH students we've created a spreadsheet to hold students' place in class while they wait for classes to be scheduled, vouchers to be received, voucher access (I believe it's a month before class), or any other complication in the process. We can add you to the spreadsheet before you get a CTCLink ID, but you will need to have one eventually.

We'll reach out to you as we get closer to the class start date.

If you see a class you'd like to get in, you can contact us to be added to this spreadsheet.

You can also simply email me and I can add you as well.
