Registration for Short-Term Courses 

Fall registration begins the first week in July and Spring 

registration begins the first week in December of each year. 

Students may register on-line, in person or by mail. Course fees 

are due at the time of registration. Therefore, we are sorry that 

we are unable to accept your registration by telephone. Please 

be sure to mark your calendar for the time and date your class 

begins. You are enrolled upon receipt of your class fees. You will 

not be notified unless your class is canceled. You are encouraged 

to register early, since classes are filled on a first-come, firstserved 

basis. Early registration also helps prevent the canceling 

of a class due to insufficient enrollment. Most classes require a 

minimum of 10 students. You will be notified if the minimum is 

not met and the class must be canceled. Conversely, many of 

the classes have limited enrollment. Since we do not currently 

maintain waiting lists, enroll at your earliest convenience. You 

must be 18 years of age or older to register for classes. 

Obligation for Payment 

Registration constitutes a financial contract between 

students and the school. Students are ultimately responsible 

for payment of amounts owed to the school, including instances 

where anticipated financial aid becomes unavailable. If students 

do not make payments of amounts owed to the school when 

they become due, the school has the right to cancel students’ 

registration; to withhold their grades, transcripts, diplomas, 

certificates, and to refuse admittance to final exams. 

IMPORTANT: 

REFUND POLICIES 

Refund Policy: Short-Term Courses 

If a course is canceled due to insufficient enrollment or 

extenuating circumstances, a full refund will be issued. If a 

student elects to drop a short-term course (courses not eligible for 

financial aid), the student must make a formal request in writing 

on the designated form, available at the front office. The student 

must make the request to drop a course prior to the beginning 

of the second class meeting to obtain a FULL REFUND. After 

the second class begins, a REFUND will not be issued. Classes 

eligible for financial aid are noted by this symbol“v”. 

Refund Policy: Motorcycle Safety Class 

The exception to this policy, applies to the Basic Rider 

Motorcycle Safety course. Payment in full is required upon 

enrollment, $100 of which is non-refundable. A student may 

withdraw from this course with a partial ($100) refund until 

4:00 p.m. on the Thursday preceding his/her respective class. 

Students may not transfer out of the class for which they have 

enrolled later than one week before the class begins.


Refund Policy: Post-Secondary Courses 

For post-secondary courses, partial refunds will be granted to 

trainees leaving the program with up to 40% of the time remaining 

in a semester or payment period. After 60% of a semester or 

payment period has elapsed, course fees are non-refundable. 

Refunds of more than $100 take four to six weeks to be processed 

and mailed. 

A minimum one hundred dollar ($100.00) deposit as partial 

payment of tuition is required for Career & Technology Center 

post-secondary programs. Eighty percent of this deposit is 

refundable when a written refund request is made before the 

first day of class. No refund of this deposit is made after the first 

day of class. 

Accident Disclaimer 

The Cape Girardeau CTC is not responsible for medical 

expenses incurred as a result of an accidental injury that occurs 

during participation in a course. 

The Career and Technology Center offers financial assistance 

and counseling. However, with an increasing number of applicants 

and a sometimes lengthy approval process, you are encouraged 

to apply early. Financial Aid Assistance is by appointment only. 

To set up your appointment, contact (573) 334-0826. Classes 

eligible for financial aid are noted by an “v”. Students enrolling

or nationally accredited school, or the equivalent (G.E.D.).

student. 

• A portfolio containing samples of the student’s academic 

work.
