Steps to Apply for Adult Education

Below are the steps to apply to the Manhattan Tech Adult Education program for General Education Equivalency (GED) and/or English Language Learner (ELL) courses.

​COMPLETE THE ADULT EDUCATION APPLICATION

Create an account and submit the Adult Education Application, along with either a waiver code or the required fee. After you submit your application, please allow about 30 minutes for your checklist to update.

1. Go to the Application Portal

Visit the Manhattan Tech application portal: engage.manhattantech.edu/apply

You’ll see two options:

  • First Time Users
  • Returning Users

2. Create Your Engage Account

If you’ve never started a Manhattan Tech application before, select: First Time Users – Create an Account

Enter:

  • Your name
  • A personal email address (not your school email, not a Manhattan Tech email)
  • Your date of birth
  • A password you will remember

Once you submit the form, you will be emailed a confirmation pin. Open that email and enter the pin to activate your account.

3. Log In to Engage Portal

After activating your account:

  1. Return to engage.manhattantech.edu/apply
  2. Select Returning Users – Log In
  3. Enter your email and password

You will now be logged into your Slate status portal.

4. Start Your Application

Once logged in:

  1. Select Start a New Application
  2. Choose the appropriate application based upon applicant type
  3. Complete all required fields
  4. Submit your application

Make sure all information is accurate—especially your name. Whatever you enter on your application becomes the official name on your Manhattan Tech account.

​COMPLETE ANY REQUIRED FORMS OR CHECKLIST ITEMS

After submitting, your status portal will show:

  • Required checklist items.
  • Any forms you still need to complete.
  • Your application status updates.

Check back regularly for updates.
