General Information

Students registering for online classes must have a valid email address and reliable internet connection. A link to your online class will be emailed to you two business days before the class start date. If you do not receive this, please call 314-984-7777 during business hours. More information on our online classes can be found at stlcc.edu/continuing-education/support/.

All students are responsible for adhering to College policies and procedures. Please refer to stlcc.edu/college-policy-procedures/title-ix/rights-responsibilities.

Any course changes in dates, times or locations will be emailed to students using the email address provided during course enrollment. Because Continuing Education (non-credit) classes are self-supporting, the decision to run a class is based on the number of students enrolled. The College reserves the right to cancel if sufficient enrollment is not achieved. For changes and cancellations due to low enrollment, students will be notified by email. Refunds will be issued for classes canceled by the College. Call 314-984-7777 with any questions.

Occasionally, Continuing Education classes are canceled due to inclement weather. Cancellations will be broadcast on KMOX-AM (1120), on KMOV-TV, KSDK-TV and KTVI/Fox 2. All campus location closings will be posted at stlcc.edu. To sign up for automated SMS notifications of STLCC campus closures or emergencies, visit stlcc.edu/about/police-safety/alerts. When St. Louis Community College cancels classes, online and off-campus classes are also canceled. In addition, when a particular host school district or institution closes, the Continuing Education classes at that location will not meet.

Classes offered in-person may be rescheduled, canceled or transitioned to an online format. Students are required to follow all health and safety directives by St. Louis Community College and local health protocols.

A 2.85% third party processing fee will be added for class registrations made via debit and credit cards. This fee is nonrefundable. Payment may also be made via check through mail-in registration.

If you wish to withdraw from a class, you will receive a refund for most classes if the class is dropped three business days before the first meeting. See the CE website course schedule for classes (such as day trips) that require notice of more than three business days for cancellation and eligibility for a refund. Course fees for missed sessions are nonrefundable.

Requests for withdrawals must be submitted in writing to Continuing Education by email at CEdropbox@stlcc.edu or via mail to: 3221 McKelvey Road, Suite 250, Bridgeton, MO 63044. Calculation of refunds will be based on the date the request is received via email or postmarked date.

Time of Withdrawal: Three business days prior to the first class meeting. Must be submitted in writing.

Percentage Refund: 100%

Time of Withdrawal: Two business days prior to the first class meeting or after the class has begun.

Percentage Refund: None

FOR SOME SPECIAL PROGRAMS AND CLASSES, AN EARLIER WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE MAY APPLY. THIS DEADLINE WILL BE PRINTED IN THE COURSE DESCRIPTION.

A student may receive either a full or partial refund for exceptional circumstances. For exceptional circumstances, requests must be submitted in writing (email or mail) within 10 business days after the class start date to be considered. Supporting documentation may be required.

At the time of registration, individuals age 60 and older may enroll in select courses for a reduced fee. Reduction will be calculated at check-out.

For information, please visit stlcc.edu/CE or call 314-984-7777.

Students are not permitted to bring children to class, nor should children be left unattended in the halls, offices, library or common areas.
