  What "limited enrollment" means

  Some course descriptions carry the notation Limited Enrollment. The size of these classes is limited either because a small group is especially valuable or because of facilities available. These courses often fill quickly, so it’s best to enroll early. If the class is full, your name will be added to a wait-list, and you will be notified if space becomes available. The office (not the instructor) maintains the wait-list.

  Cancellation of Courses

  We reserve the right to cancel courses, as well as to reschedule courses and change instructors. You are encouraged to check on the course status before the first meeting by calling 512-706.

  Course Transfers

  You may transfer from one course to another before the start of the second meeting of your group. Any difference in fee between the two courses must be paid before the transfer.
