Frequently Asked Questions
When should I register?
Now! Many classes fill quickly, and others may be canceled due to low enrollment. Help ensure that your class has enough students by registering at least 10 days ahead of the start date.
How can I register?
Where are the classes held?
Classes are held throughout the Chemeketa Community College District. See the Contact Us page for a list of locations and contact information. See the Maps page for maps to specific locations.
Will classes be held if the weather is bad?
Contact the Community Education Information Line for updates on weather related cancellations. See the Contact Us page for a list of locations and contact information.
What happens when a Community Education Class is canceled?
All fees are automatically refunded if a class is canceled due to low enrollment, or if the class fills before we receive your registration. Classes are canceled approximately 1 week prior to the start date if there is insufficient enrollment. Avoid the disappointment of having your class canceled by registering early and inviting a friend or two to take the class with you.
Can I register my child in a Community Education Class?
Yes, if he/she is 15 years old or older… and some instructors may allow younger children and youth to enroll in their classes. Call 503.365.4773 to have a Youth Enrollment Permission Form mailed to you.
What if I want a refund?
When you register for a class, you agree to pay the fee whether or not you attend. If you decide to "drop" a class, you must do so within the designated refund period (usually before the class meets a 2nd time). If the college cancels a class, a refund will be automatically generated.
