What is the cancellation policy if I am unable to attend?
Billings Community Education strives to provide affordable and flexible training for all ages in the community. We are able to offer classes once we have met the minimum registrations to meet our financial obligations. Class fees are refundable in the event the class is canceled due to low enrollment. A student will receive a full refund if he or she cancels their enrollment three (3) business days before the class start date. A 5% processing fee will be charged if the student cancels their enrollment less than three (3) business days prior to class start date. No refund will be given if the student cancels their enrollment on or after the class start date. If an emergency arises and the student is forced to cancel or postpone their enrollment in the class, please call 281-5010 as the student may be eligible for a refund.
