Instructors Unavailable to Teach

We try not to cancel any classes, but there are times when an instructor is unable to teach due to unforeseen circumstances. When this occurs, no refund or prorated amount will be given. We encourage students to attend any other classes scheduled during that specific date and time.

College Closure

Emergencies occur and the same goes for Tri-C.  If a Tri-C campus is closed for any reason, no refund or prorated amount will be given.  We will also not be able to make up any sessions due to various reasons.

If the College is closed and a Neighborhood Scholars session is scheduled, we will cancel the session and look to reschedule.
