Community Education classes are open to the general public and extend
beyond the range of Whatcom’s regular instructional program. These courses
are self-supporting, and the cost of instruction plus overhead costs are
covered by student fees. They do not carry credit applicable toward a
Whatcom degree or transfer to other institutions. No state tax monies are
used for this program, residency is not required, and senior citizen
discounts do not apply to self-supporting courses.
Registration

YOU MUST REGISTER PRIOR TO THE FIRST CLASS SESSION. If the minimum
enrollment for a class is not met, the class will have to be cancelled.
Your registration may make the difference, so early registration is
encouraged.
