Do I need a parking permit?

 YES.   You must have a permit to part on campus weekdays from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm.  You may purchase a day pass for $1.00 at either the Information Kiosk in front of the Administration Buidling or in the East Campus parking lot. Cars without permits will be ticketed.   Exceptions:   You do NOT need a permit on Friday nights, Saturdays, Sundays, or anytime for classes located at  71 Day Road or at Annex 4.

May I get a refund if Community Ed. cancels a class?

Yes.  Preregistered students will be notified if a class is canceled.  You may choose a  full refund or have your fees transferred to another class.  Please allow 3 - 6 weeks for check refunds and one week for credit card refunds.

May I get a refund if I drop a class?

If you are unable to attend a class for which you registered, you must notify the Community Education office at least two working days before the class begins, otherwise a refund will not be issued.  Once proper notice has been received, your registration fee, minus a $10.00 cancelation fee, will be refunded.  Please see Pharmacy Technician class for an exception to this policy.
