Who is eligible to take classes through Training & Development?
If you are paid directly by Western Washington University, you are eligible to
take classes.
How do I get information about classes?
For the most current class information, visit
this website ("What's New" page)
and the WWU
Training website often.
To support the staff and faculty of WWU, we
schedule classes quarterly and on an as-needed basis. This allows the scheduling
of those classes that are in demand.
Classes in demand are based on individual
class
requests submitted to the class request database. When there
are a sufficient number (normally a minimum of 7 participants) of
requests for a particular course, a class will be scheduled and
added to the training
schedule.
In addition, classes are published weekly in the
FAST.

When a class is listed for multiple days, do I have to attend them all?
Can I choose one date? Can I miss several days?
You are expected to attend all classes. Training & Development classes
are in-depth, and it is to your advantage to attend each session. Upon
satisfactory completion, the class is added to your non-academic training
transcript.

If there is a class fee, how do I pay?
You may pay by personal check, cash or by a funds transfer.
When you register for a class and select fund transfer you will be presented
with an e-sign form to complete. By obtaining
an authorized signature on your registration form we can transfer funds from your department to
Training & Development. Please provide your department budget code and have
your budget approving authority sign your completed registration form. Training &
Development will process the funds transfer.

Why are some classes free while others have a fee?
The mission of Training & Development is to support the
professional growth of faculty and staff. Fees are imposed on some
classes to cover the cost of materials and in some cases the cost of an
instructor or facilitator.
