Policies and Information

Prime Time Learners
Adults age 60+ are Prime Time Learners and may receive 10 percent off most on-ground courses in this schedule.

Age Requirements
Students must be 16 years of age to participate in campus classes. Anyone 15 and younger must be accompanied by an adult and have a paid registration unless otherwise specified in the course descriptions.

Refund
Refund Policy: Because The LearningForce (noncredit) classes are self-supporting, the decision to run a class is based on the number of people enrolled. The college reserves the right to cancel if sufficient enrollment is not achieved. Every effort will be made to notify registrants by phone or mail if a class is canceled. Full refunds will be issued for classes canceled by the college.

If you need to cancel a class please contact our office seven (7) days before the start date to receive a full refund, less a

10% service charge. Expenses such as supply fees, food costs, tour fees or other costs associated with the course besides the course fee will be refunded only if The LearningForce has not incurred those costs. If a course has an enrollment deadline, that date is also considered the cancellation deadline.

If you have a situation that warrants an override of the above policy, an explanation of the circumstances should be made in writing to The LearningForce office. The request will be reviewed to determine if a refund can be granted, and you will be notified accordingly. Refunds should be received within 30 days.
