Course Changes and Cancellations
Occasionally, we need to make changes in a course's time, location, or instructor. Due to conditions beyond our control, we may even need to notify you of a course cancellation. You may choose to transfer into another course or receive a full refund. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you.

We encourage early registration: classes with inadequate enrollment will be cancelled eight days prior to the start date. If you choose to register within a couple of days of a course's start, we recommend that you call our Information Center at 1-877-543-0998 (Toll Free) to verify course details: space available, and location.

Non-grading Policy
The College does not issue letter grades for non-credit courses. The College will issue a statement of satisfactory completion for those students or companies who require such written documentation. Students requiring such documentation should notify the instructor at the beginning of each course.

Fee Refunds
Enrollees who withdraw from a course, workshop, or seminar one day prior to the first session will receive a full refund of course fees. A 50 percent (50%) refund will be granted if you withdraw prior to the start of class but less than one day before the first session is scheduled to meet. No refunds will be made if you withdraw at any time after the start of a class. Call the Records Office at 610/861-5494.
