General Information
REGISTRATION FEES & REFUNDS
Fees are listed with each course description. Participants must pay separately for the materials that may be needed for a particular course. Refunds will not be given unless the class is canceled because of insufficient registration. Registrations are not transferable. There is no provision for a partial fee. Please allow four to six weeks to process a refund in the event of a cancellation. Cash receipts must be submitted when requesting a cash refund. In cases of extenuating circumstances, contact the Director of Continuing Education. Each situation will be given consideration.
TRANSFERS
Transfers from one course to another will be permitted prior to the second week of classes. (Enrollment Permitting)
CLASS SIZE
All BCE Program Classes must meet minimum enrollment numbers in order to run. Fees may be increased or classes may be shortened in accordance with Board of Education policy to insure that courses be conducted on a self-sustaining basis. All CE Program Classes also have enrollment maximums. The expansion of these maximums is on a case-to-case basis at the discretion of the director. The CE Program will look to expansion options, rather than turn interested participants away.
CLASS SCHEDULE
Classes are held on the dates provided on the calendar page of this brochure. Classes that do not follow the regular schedule are listed with the specific dates in the text of the brochure. A makeup date is scheduled only if a session is cancelled.
