After the registration deadline date, the course disappears from our website. This is a function of the registration system and cannot be changed at this time. 

All classes have registration deadlines before the class start date. Please check the online course description for specific class information regarding the last day to register and additional requirements. Some classes have an earlier deadline especially for classes where supplies are included and trips/tour which require reservations. 

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.

Most of the Continuing Education classes are hosted on STLCC campuses.

Off-Campus Locations

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.
