Labor School and Advanced Academy Registration

Fields with asterisks (*) are required.

Given the uncertain nature of the public health crisis due to COVID-19, Labor School courses will be offered online this academic year. The safety and health of our students and faculty are a top priority. WSU online Labor School is an excellent and highly regarded labor education program.

Scholarship Assistance: We understand that many people are facing financial hardships and we do not want that to be a barrier to labor education. Therefore, Wayne State University would like to offer 90% off the Labor School’s tuition costs during the 2020-2021 academic year. Scholarship recipients will pay $20 per course instead of $200.
