Community Education Policies
Registration
Tuition must be paid at time of registration>. When registering by internet, phone, or fax please have your credit card number. If you prefer to pay by cash or check, you may register by mail or in person.
We maintain waiting lists for all classes, and instructors prepare materials for a limited number of participants. Please do not come to class without first registering.
Please know your schedules in advance. Once you have registered for a class, the tuition is non-transferable and cannot be applied to other classes. If you wish to cancel out of one class and register for another, you will be charged a $5 cancellation fee.
Confirmation
Participants will receive a reminder card via mail 7 to 10 days prior to class for each paid registration. If you do not receive a reminder card, please contact our office. If a class is full or cancelled, or if there is any change in class time or location, you will be notified by phone.
Refunds
Full tuition refunds will be issued if a class is full or cancelled. If you choose to cancel your registration and notify the Office of Community Education no later than 3 working days prior to the first class you will be issued a refund minus a $5 cancellation processing fee. The day of the class is not to be included in the "three working days prior" (examples: a Saturday class may be cancelled on Wednesday, but not Thursday; a Friday class may be cancelled on Tuesday, but not Wednesday; a Monday class may be cancelled on Wednesday, but not Thursday).
Class Cancellations
Each class has a minimum enrollment that must be met in order for the course to be held. Classes with low enrollment will be cancelled shortly before the starting date.
Changes
For reasons beyond our control, it is sometimes necessary to change faculty, course content, location, time and date. Your understanding in these circumstances will be appreciated.
Parking
Community Education participants attending courses in the Perkins or Stratton buildings may park in the "general" lot adjacent to the Perkins building. Participants attending weekly classes held in other campus buildings will receive a parking permit valid only in Alumni Coliseum Commuter Lot 6:00 am - 4:30 pm and in any Commuter Lot after 4:30 pm. On Saturdays, all employee and commuter campus parking lots are open to Community Education participants. Alumni Coliseum is not available on football game days.
Materal/Supply Fees
Additional fees and/or materials are required for some courses. Check the course description for the cost of such fees, which are paid directly to the instructor.
Inclement Weather
Should inclement weather force the cancellation of classes, Community Education participants will be contacted by phone if possible. Community Education daytime classes will be cancelled if EKU is closed or on a 2 hour delay. If EKU evening classes are cancelled, Community Education evening classes will be cancelled. For a recorded message, call 859-622-1228.
