COURSE WITHDRAWALS 

Students who wish to withdraw from a course must notify the CAPS Office in writing. Failure to complete a course, ceasing to attend class, notifying the instructor of your desire to withdraw, or general dissatisfaction with a course does not constitute a withdrawal and does not entitle you to a refund. Instructors are not permitted OR able to process withdrawals, transfers or refunds.

MAKE-UP POLICY

If a student misses a session, the department unfortunately does not authorize the student to make up that missed session in another section. If the instructor informs the student to visit another section of his class, then that is between the student and the instructor.

    It was informational and a great refresher on topics I was more familiar with. The material was not too heavy and easy to follow along. I enjoyed my professor Janet Reisel, she made the class fun and she has a great way of teaching where it encouraged the class to participate. I would definitely take more courses, preferably with Janet. Thank you!

    The class could be condensed. (3) hours at the end of a work day is challenging. Teacher likes to include lots of personal observations which extends the class unnecessarily.

Hi there, do I need a school ID or something for the October classes? Is there anything I need to bring for the class?

Hi there! If your class is 3 sessions or less you will not receive an ID. Show your registration receipt for entry into buildings and classrooms.
