CANCELED OR POSTPONED CLASSES
A class may be canceled if minimum enrollment is not met. Every effort is made to notify students when a class is canceled. A full refund is automatically processed and students usually receive a refund check within four weeks.
Once a course begins and a postponement is necessary, the instructor will call the students and reschedule the class, unless weather is the cause. If BPCC classes are canceled because of hazardous weather, Continuing Education classes will not meet. If the class is short-term, we will reschedule. If it is long-term, the instructor will make arrangements to make up the missed information.
