Important Information

Accommodations

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Amendments, Continuing Education at Heartland Community College makes every effort to provide reasonable accommodations to qualifying students with disabilities. Participants in need of reasonable accommodations may identify so on the registration form and will be communicated with regarding the request process. In order to provide adequate time to obtain documentation and arrange for reasonable accommodations, it is highly recommended that requests are submitted 3 weeks prior to the class start date. Requests submitted after this point will still be accepted and given full consideration, but may not be in place during the limited duration of the enrichment program.

Students enrolled in a Kids@Heartland class should demonstrate independence, motivation, and the ability to handle changes in routine. Personal services such as restroom assistance, support with mobility around campus, eating, or direct one-to-one supervision are not provided as part of the program. If your child needs any of these supports, please reach out to the Kids@Heartland program as soon as possible to discuss options. Accommodations are not considered reasonable if they pose a serious health or safety risk, or significantly alter the intent of the enrichment program.

Age Appropriate Guidelines

Except for Kids@Heartland and Teens@Heartland classes or unless otherwise stated, Continuing Education classes are designed for adults 18 and over.

Conduct Expectations

We strive to provide excellent learning experiences in our Continuing Education classes. As a result, anyone exhibiting inappropriate behavior or disrespectful language may be dismissed without a refund. Students in Work Ready Programs or Traffic Safety School should additionally refer to the HCC Code of Conduct for behavioral expectations and disciplinary processes.

Fees

Fees are payable in full at the time of registration. We accept cash, check or credit/debit cards, however, registration online or by phone requires a credit/debit card.  

Full or Canceled Classes
