Refunds for Canceled Courses
The college reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any course or to change instructors. Courses may be canceled if the minimum enrollment is not met. Early registration greatly helps decrease course cancellations. Typically, decisions regarding course cancellations occur three to four days prior to the course start date, as determined by the Dean of Special Programs. If you are registered for a course that is canceled, you will be notified by phone or mail. You will have the option to transfer into another course or receive a full refund of tuition and all applicable fees, including the registration fee.
