A. The Community Education Department runs non-credit courses, that are offered during the evening and on Saturdays. These include job
training, recreational, and educational courses. |
| Q. What are Non-credit Courses? |
| |
A. The courses do not grant credit toward an academic degree; however many fulfill continuing education requirements in the workplace.
Students choose any class of interest. Usually, the time spent during a course is stress free - and is of personal satisfaction, whether related to
personal or work-related goals. |
| Q. What types of courses are offered through Community Education? |

business, computers, finance, education, fitness, hobbies, crafts, personal development, language, travel, sports, recreation and dance. |

| |
A. Anyone - you, your family, friends or business colleagues. There are no age restrictions or general requirements for most courses. |

|

| Q. How Do I Register? |
| |

You may mail or fax your form (with payment information) to the Registrar’s Office 10 days before the beginning of each non-credit course (Fax
#508- 427-1246); or you may walk it in until the start time of the first class meeting of any non-credit course. Note: Classes with low enrollments
are cancelled 7 to 10 days before the start of a class, so register early to avoid having your course cancelled! |
| Q. What if I can’t attend a course I have registered for? |
| |
A. Refunds cannot be awarded until a signed withdrawal form is filed. To officially withdraw from a non-credit course, students must fill out a
withdrawal form available in the Registrar’s Office. Withdrawals must be submitted before the day of the first class meeting to receive a 100%
refund. After the first class and before the second class, refunds are 0-50% depending on the length of the course. |
