If you paid with separate checks for each course, your check will not be deposited. If you paid with one check for more than one class, you will have credit in your account.

If space opens up in the class, wait listed students will be contacted in the order in which they were placed.

What if my class is cancelled or the schedule changes?
Rare changes in the class schedule may occur due to unforeseen circumstances or low enrollment.  In most cases we require at least five students for a class to run. If we have to cancel a class due to low enrollment, we will notify you at least two days before the class is scheduled to begin. If you need more notice, we suggest you call or email the office to check enrollment.

If your class is cancelled, you can request a full refund of your fees, or to transfer to another course of your choice, space permitting; a refund may take several weeks to process.

What if I cannot attend a class as planned?
If you need to cancel your registration before the first meeting of a class, we understand. Contact the LCSC office hosting the class by phone or e-mail and you can ask for a refund, to transfer to another class, or to kepp credit on account for future use.

Withdraw no later than 7 days prior to the start date of class to receive a full refund; withdraw 6 to 1 day prior to the start date of class and receive your choice of either a refund minus a $10 administrative fee, or a full credit to be applied on a future class. 

A credit is valid for 18 months from the date of issuance; cancellation refunds may take several weeks to process.

Are your classes handicapped accessible?
LCSC welcomes the inclusion of, in all phases of campus life, people with disabilities.  The institution adheres to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act in making reasonable modifications of policies, practices and procedures in order to assure that no one is excluded from, or denied the benefits of, educational opportunities solely on the basis of disability. 

Where do I park on the LCSC Campus?
During the Fall and Spring semesters, LCSC Parking Permit rules are enforced Monday through Friday, 7am to 5pm.  Outside of these hours, and during the Summer term, parking on the LCSC Campus is permitted free of charge.  PLEASE NOTE:  Normal Hill Residential Parking Zones are not available for student use Monday through Friday, 8am to 3pm; Normal Hill Parking Zones are enforced year-round.

Parking on the LCSC Campus is permitted in areas marked by parking space lines or signs.  All other areas are officially declared no parking zones.  The responsibility of finding a legal parking space rests with the vehicle operator; lack of space is not considered to be a valid reason for violation of these regulations.  Vehicles parked in unauthorized spaces or areas are subject to towing at the owner's expense.

Can I make up missed classes?
Students may not make up absences by attending classes other than their own.

If a class session is postponed by an instructor or due to extreme weather, a make-up will be scheduled. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled class, please email us in advance and we will arrange to give you a credit for the missed class.

What if I am not satisfied with a class?
Our commitment is to quality and to you.  Your satisfaction is our primary goal.  We know that our instructors are excellent, and that our programs are solid; but, if your class does not measure up to your expectations, please contact the LCSC office hosting the class and give us the opportunity to do something about it.  We want you to be satisfied.

With our no-risk registration, you can sign up with the knowledge that if you are not satisfied with the quality of your learning experience, we will happily issue your choice of a refund, transfer to another class, or credit.
