Admission and Registration Process

All new students who wish to pursue the Electrical Technology program must first be admitted into the major. Students will need to have English, reading, and math placements. After students are admitted, they will be added to a managed list based on the date and time they were admitted.

Two weeks before the upcoming semester’s priority registration date, students eligible to register will receive instructions (via email, phone, and text) regarding their next steps. If the next steps are not completed before the deadline provided, students will be removed from the list, and their registration opportunity will be given to the next student on the managed list.

Once you have been admitted into the major and would like to know when you can potentially start the Electrical Technology Diploma program, you can contact Dave Mogren (dave.mogren@saintpaul.edu, 651.846.1639).
