Community Education and Training reserves the right to cancel noncredit courses, workshops, programs, and other events for which there is insufficient enrollment and/or reschedule programs, to change instructors, to change course locations and to take other administrative actions as necessary. Corporate & Community Education reserves the right to change the content of any course information contained in our brochure or website due to error or unforeseen circumstances. Refunds are not automatically warranted based on these changes. Middlesex Community College reserves the right to make changes in policy and regulations at any time as circumstances dictate.

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.
