General Questions

Continuing Education (CE) offers non-credit classes for adults 18 and up. Programs include personal enrichment and professional development. Class lengths vary from single sessions to multi-week courses. While these classes don't count toward degrees, they provide flexible learning opportunities for all skill levels.
 

No. You will need to register each student independently. You will need full name, date of birth, address, phone and email address to register each student. Please close your browser between students to prevent any registration errors. 

If you have withdrawn from a class, or your class was cancelled, please allow 30 days for refund processing. If you submitted payment via credit/debit card, your refund will be returned to the account used for payment. If you submitted payment via check or cash, you will be issued a check, mailed to the address on record.

You can email us your name and address to cedropbox@stlcc.edu or call us at 314-984-7777 to receive a catalog and be added to our mailing list. We can also add you to our electronic mailing list if you provide an email address.

If you would like to opt out of receiving physical or electronic copies of our catalog, please email us at cedropbox@stlcc.edu or call us at 314-984-7777 to request to be removed from our direct mailing list. Because we use Every Door Direct Mailing to help keep costs in check, we cannot remove you from the USPS postal list, but we will not mail directly to your home or business if you opt out of our mailings. 

We are always seeking instructors with innovative ideas and knowledge to share! For more information on teaching for Continuing Education, visit the Teach For CE page.

Please note: Our classes are all non-credit, enrichment classes geared for community members. They are not part of traditional college credit classes. 

STLCC Workforce Solutions Group offers a variety of opportunities to help adults train for in-demand occupations in shorter duration formats. A complete listing and details can be found on the Short-Term Career Training page.

We are always happy to help and can be reached by emailing us at cedropbox@stlcc.edu  or calling us at 314-984-7777.

Online Classes

Online classes are conducted live via Zoom. Cameras are optional but encouraged.

A link to the online class will be emailed to students approximately two business days before the class starts. If you have not received your zoom link one business day before the class, please contact us at cedropbox@stlcc.edu, or 314-984-7777, during business hours.

Sometimes our emails end up in a Junk or Spam folder. Please be sure to add stlccconed@stlcc.edu to your contacts to ensure we are delivered to your inbox.

Recordings by students and instructors are prohibited

Registration for our classes generally closes three business days before a class starts. After the registration deadline, the course disappears from our website. This is a function of the registration system and cannot be changed at this time. 

Some classes have an earlier registration deadline especially for classes where supplies are included, and trips/tours which require reservations. Deadlines are listed in the online registration system under each course.

For questions about a registered class or if a course is no longer listed, please contact us at cedropbox@stlcc.edu or 314-984-7777.


CE Classes

Locations for all Continuing Education classes can be found on the Class Locations page.

If a book is required for your class, the book and purchasing information will be emailed to you approximately one week before your class. The information will also be listed in the course description of the class in the online registration system.

Textbooks can be purchased either at online retailers or via the STLCC Bookstore.

For most classes, you can withdraw from a class up to three business days before a class starts, and still receive a refund. Some of our classes, like trips, require an earlier deadline. For these classes, the deadline to withdraw will be posted in the course description in the online registration system.

Requests for withdrawal must be submitted in writing to the Continuing Education office by email at cedropbox@stlcc.edu or via mail to: 3221 McKelvey Road, Suite 250, Bridgeton, MO 63044.

Please allow 30 days for refund processing. 

If time permits, we will contact you by email if your class is canceled due to severe weather. Because sometimes weather can change rapidly, please check your email and the STLCC website before heading to class. 

STLCC also uses a collegewide hotline to share updates regarding inclement weather and emergencies. STLCC’s emergency hotline can be reached by calling 314-539-5454. To sign up for automated SMS notifications of STLCC campus closures or emergencies, visit stlcc.edu/alerts.

When STLCC cancels classes, online and off-campus Continuing Education classes are also cancelled. In addition, when a particular host school district or institution closes, the Continuing Education classes at that location will not meet.

If a class is cancelled due to weather or other emergency, every effort will be made to make up the missed class. You will be notified of any rescheduled classes via email. 

If your class is cancelled, you will be notified via email and will receive a refund. Please allow 30 days for refund processing. If there is a change to your class, you will be notified via email.

If a class is rescheduled and you cannot attend the make-up date, contact us at cedropbox@stlcc.edu, or 314-984-7777, to discuss options. 

To add yourself to the waitlist, locate the class in the online registration system. If the class is full, you’ll have the option to join the waitlist. You will be notified if a spot becomes available. You can also email us at cedropbox@stlcc.edu or 314-984-7777 to be added to the waitlist.

If you require accommodations for a disability in order to participate in any program or activity, please contact the Access Office as soon as possible in advance of the class for consideration of your request. A student may submit this application at any time during their enrollment, but the College recommends submitting the application as early as possible to allow time to make any necessary arrangements.
