Please note that adding yourself does not automatically guarantee that you will eventually secure a spot in the program! However, if you are notified of a seat opening, you must register within 24 hours or your spot in the waiting list will be given to the next student following.
  • Registration for CNA courses (AVHO 102) begins at 8 a.m. on the Friday after open enrollment begins. To view the specific CNA enrollment date, please see the academic calendar.
  • If you wish to enroll for a CNA course, we encourage you to prepare in advance to be sure you are eligible to enroll. Due to the high demand for these courses, we anticipate that they will fill up very quickly. Our experience has shown us that students who enroll on the web have a better chance of getting a seat in a CNA course than students who call or come in to enroll. CNA courses are generally completely filled within 10 minutes of enrollment opening.
