Course Cancellations by MCC:
Courses are sometimes cancelled. We try to notify people as best we can as long as we have appropriate contact information from our enrollment center. When circumstances permit, we provide a telephone or email notification of a course cancellation to each student 3-5 days prior to the course start date. A 100 % refund will be issued within 7 -10 business days if a noncredit class is cancelled by Middlesex Community College.
