Community Education offers non-credit, self-supporting, classes and events that enrich the cultural, social, and recreational life of the community. These may include special interest courses, field trips and workshops.

The department also sponsors College for Kids, an educational enrichment program to challenge youth.

Since Community Education is self-supporting, credit classes that typically do not receive enough enrollment to qualify for state support may successfully be delivered through this department. New programs may originate here until they qualify to be part of the state-supported curriculum. Programs such as Motorcycle Safety will grant an endorsement card upon successful completion of the course.

Cancellations and Refunds
For single day or short-term courses, students must drop their class three days before the class meets in order to qualify for a refund. Once the class has started, no refund of any amount will be given. For semester long courses, 100 percent is refunded if the withdrawl is completed the day before class starts. Drops must be made on the college website before a refund can be issued.
