Do I need to be an LPC student to take Community Education courses?
Are Community Education classes for credit?
Can my kids take Community Education courses?
What if I can no longer attend the class I enrolled in?
We will gladly process your request for a refund if it is received in our office by 4 pm, five business days prior to the starting date of the class. For instance, if a class starts on a Monday, the refund request must be received in the Community Education office by 4:00 pm Wednesday of the prior week.
We cannot accept requests for drops/refunds, regardless of the reason, if they are received fewer than five business days prior to the class start date. Community Education is a self-supporting program and is funded by course registration fees. No refunds will be granted after the five-day deadline.
If a refund is granted, students may save a $10 service fee per class by electing to receive a refund in the form of an electronic voucher. Once a voucher is issued, it will not be converted to a refund for any reason. The voucher is good for any upcoming Community Education classes and does not expire.
Please note:
• There are no refunds for missing one or more classes or going to the wrong location.
• Class enrollment is not transferable.
• Refunds will not be pro-rated.
• Credit card refunds will only be issued to the same credit card used during the
initial transaction.
To request a refund, you must do so using this form. If you are requesting a drop/refund for more than one class, please use a separate
form for each class. Requests are recorded based on the date and time this form is
received by the Community Education Department. You will be notified via email of
the approval or denial of your request. Refund processing may take four to six weeks.
My class was canceled. Do I need to submit a refund request?
No, refunds will be processed automatically. You do not need to submit a refund request.
Classes canceled by Community Education, Las Positas College will be refunded in full.
In the event of a cancellation, you will be notified via e-mail.
Why was my class canceled?
Your class was most likely canceled for one of the following reasons:
Low enrollment:
Minimum enrollment is required for a class to start. Register early to ensure your
place in a class and to avoid class cancellation.
Instructor Request or Emergency:
The instructor may have needed to cancel the class, or the instructor has an unexpected
personal or family emergency.
My class says “LIVE REMOTE.” What does that mean?
LIVE REMOTE means that the instructor holds live online meetings, most likely viz Zoom. The date(s) and time(s) listed are when you will join your meetings. Instructors will send out information on how to join the meeting prior to class. If you are signed up for a LIVE REMOTE class but did not receive the log in information, please call our office 925-424-1467.
