Participation and Policies

LIFELONG LEARNING MEMBERSHIP

The annual membership fee for Lifelong Learning is $15 per fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). Membership is a requirement for many classes, but not all.

REGISTRATION

Registration is a requirement for participation in most Lifelong Learning classes.

You can register by phone, in person, or by mail on or before the first session of the class. When registering, please give your name, address, phone number, and email. You can register for classes, including Lifelong Learning membership, at the Registration Office in the Dr. Robert H. Kiser Building. Register with Sue Owens by phone at 712.317.3442 or email sue.owens@witcc.edu.

You can view Lifelong Learning class information online at witcc.edu/lifelong-learning.

We do not mail out written confirmation of your registration. If you need information or want to check any details about your class, call Registration at 712.274.6404.

ATTENDING A ZOOM SESSION

Once you have registered for your class or workshop, please make sure to give the person registering you your most recent email address. You will be sent an email from sue.owens@witcc.edu that will look like a calendar invitation. It will have all the Zoom login information you will need to attend the class. Questions? Contact Sue Owens at 712.317.3442 or sue.owens@witcc.edu.

PAYMENT

Payment is required in full on or before the first time the class meets. You can send in your check with your registration or pay in person at the cashier's desk in the Dr. Robert H. Kiser Building during normal business hours. You can also pay by credit card over the phone by calling 712.274.8733, ext. 1210.

WAITING LIST

If you find that one of your selections is full, we encourage you to put your name on the waiting list. To check your status after you have been wait listed, please call Registration at 712.274.6404.

CANCELLATION POLICY FOR CLASSES

Remember to cancel your registration if you can’t attend. You will be charged for any class which has a fee that you register for but don’t attend. Cancellations must be directed to WIT Registration no less than two business days before the start of the class (712.274.6404).

CANCELLATION POLICY FOR TRIPS

We realize that life happens and you may not be able to attend a planned trip. A cancellation waiver is now available for purchase with your reservation so you can receive a full refund no questions asked. Please see trip details for specifics. Without the waiver, trip reservations must be canceled nine business days in advance for a full refund to Sue Owens by phone at 712.317.3442 or email sue.owens@witcc.edu.

CANCELED CLASSES DUE TO LOW ENROLLMENT

If Lifelong Learning classes are canceled due to low enrollment, we will do everything possible to notify you in advance, and we will send you a full refund by mail.

CANCELED CLASSES DUE TO WEATHER, ILLNESS, AND OTHER CAUSES

Sometimes a class is canceled due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. In these cases, we do all we can to inform registered students in a timely fashion. Sometimes, it is not possible to reach you in time. In these circumstances, we will work with you to find a satisfactory resolution.
