Why do you ask me so much information just to register for a class or trip?
Community Education's registration has been combined with the Yosemite Community College's computer system. When you call our office to register we are inputting your information into the college system as all of the MJC students. If you attended MJC in the past your name will be in the system and we need your information to verify you and update addresses and phone numbers. If you have not attended or registered for MJC in the past, we will need your information to begin a new student account.
How do I register?
You can register in person, by mail, the internet, or the fax.
Can I register at class?
Walk-in registration is on a space available basis. You can only pay for a class at the door with check or a money order made payable to MJC. The instructor CANNOT accept cash or credit card. This is for your own protection.
Can My Child Take an Adult Class?
Children 14-17 may register for an adult class only when a parent/adult registers with them. Call for age requirements for traffic school and motorcycle training classes.
What do course fees pay for?
Community Education classes do not receive tax support. Your enrollment fees pay all costs of the program.
Returned Checks
There is a $25 charge for returned checks.
Can I get a refund?
Classes: If you cancel at least 7 days prior to the short course you have reserved, you will be refunded your registration fee, less a $20 processing fee. Once a class begins, we are unable to refund any portion of your fee. Vouchers will no longer be issued.
Trips: Different refund policies apply to trips and tours. Call our office regarding refund policies for trips.
Cancelled Classes: A full (100%) refund will be given for classes or trips that the college cancels. Refunds take a few weeks to process. If you pay by credit card, your account will be credited; if you pay by check or cash, you will receive a check in the mail.
On-line Registration: If you registered for the class over the internet you MUST call our office to receive a refund.
What other fees will I pay?
In some cases an additional materials fee may be charged. Materials fees are payable to the instructor on the first day of class.
Do I have to pay for parking?
MJC parking regulations are in effect (24-hours a day) from 7:00 a.m. on Monday through 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Student parking is permitted in designated areas on the East and West Campus. Persons who park on campus are required to pay a fee. A daily ticket may be purchased from any campus parking ticket dispenser for $1.00.
Why are classes cancelled?
Community Education courses must be offered at no cost to the district (because they are not state-funded) and there is a minimum number of students who must be enrolled in order for a class to be held. The decision whether or not to cancel is made one to two days before the class begins and is based on the number of fully paid fees on that date. So please register early.
Can I get Financial Aid?
Because we do not receive state funding to help support our program, we are not eligible for state or federal finanical aid for our students. However, many times rehabilitation companies pay for their clients to take our courses.
Special Accommodations
Requests for reasonable accommodations for disabilities must be made at the time of registration and at least 10 days before the event. Every effort within our ability and legal responsibility will be made to meet your request.
Supply Lists
Some of our classes state that you need to request a supply list. We try to get these out to you, but sometimes we don't. Please call our office at 575-6063 if you haven't received one a few days before your class, or you can check our website at www.gomjc.org/communityed. Also, do not purchase the supplies until you have checked with our office to make sure the class will not be cancelled.
