WSCE POLICIES
Course Cancellations Each non-credit class requires a minimum number of enrollees to run. The decision to hold or cancel a class is made, in most cases, three business days prior to the start of the class. The college, however, reserves the right to cancel a class at any time due to unexpected circumstances. In these events, students will be noti- fied via phone and/or email. Refund Policy • Course Cancellations: 100% refund will be issued for any course the College cancels. • Before Course Begins: Course withdrawals and re- quests for full refunds may be made up to 24 hours before the course begins by calling Continuing Education at 240-500-2236. Some exceptions may apply and will be noted in the course description. • After Course Begins: Refunds are not awarded after a course has started. The above refund policy does not apply to College for Kids and Cultural Day Trips. Call 240-500-2236 for College for Kids and trip refund information. Use of Cell Phones During Class Cell phones should be turned off or set to silent when class is in session. Calls must not interrupt the class. If students have to make or take calls on an emergency basis, please step out of the classroom to do so in order In case of severe weather or other emergency con- ditions, you should check HCC’s website (www.hag- erstowncc.edu) or Facebook page (www.facebook. com/hagerstowncc). We will not necessarily close when the public schools do. When the public schools are closed due to weather or emergencies, all classes at public school locations are cancelled. When the college closes, all classes at off-campus sites are canceled. Classes canceled due to inclement weather or emer- gencies will be made up. Non-Credit/Credit Shared Courses Selected courses may be taken for either academic credit or a non-credit basis. Should the student desire to transfer from non-credit to credit, the student must transfer by the second week of class. In order to trans- fer from non-credit to credit, the student must first drop the course through Continuing Education and then register in the Registrar’s office. Students who have completed the non-credit course will receive a Certificate of Completion but will not be awarded college credits and may not earn college credit for the credit course by exam. Certificate/CEU Information Students do not receive grades for Continuing Edu- cation courses. Some non-credit courses offer Con- tinuing Education Units (CEUs). You must inform the instructor if you need CEUs. to minimize the disruption. Parking — see page 38 Emergency Closing

Course and class information listed in the Non-Credit Course Schedule, promotional literature and on the College website are subject to change. The College regrets any discrepancies or typographical errors. Continuing Education and Workforce Development wants every student to be successful; however, we recognize that a course or training program may not always be the best match for a student. Thus, the Col- lege reserves the right to decline a student registration into any career-training course or program where the student has unsuccessfully attempted the same course or training program twice or because of poor performance in the program. Tuition and Fees Any Maryland resident 60 years of age or older who enrolls in a Maryland funded course is exempt from payment of tuition but must pay the $35 fee (or higher fee if indicated in the course description) and any other applicable fees. Tuition does not include any fees or cost associated with a self-supporting program. All students who enroll in continuing education classes which are not eligible for state funding shall pay full tuition and fees. All students registering for an open enrollment course shall pay an $8 registration fee. Checks should be made payable to Hagerstown Community College. There will be a returned check fee of $35 for checks returned for insufficient funds. For information about tuition assistance for individuals with disabilities, please call 240-500-2273. Employer’s Tuition Assistance If your employer is paying for your course, we must receive a purchase order or a letter on company letter- head along with your registration form. The purchase order or letter must state what the employer is paying (i.e. tuition, material fee), your name, and the course(s) in which you are enrolling. Registrations will not be processed without this paperwork. If the employer is paying for your textbook, a separate letter or purchase order must be submitted to the Bookstore at the time of purchase. Admissions Anyone 16 years of age or older is eligible for admission (unless specified otherwise).
