You must be registered prior to the class start date. Class size is limited, and many of our classes fill, so you may want to register early. Since Technology Education classes are offered at a number of locations, we prefer that you register at least two weeks in advance, so we have time to order enough course materials.

No. You must officially drop the class to receive a refund. See drop/refund policy below.

Continuing Education is committed to the quality of our classes, services, and instructors. If you are unsatisfied with your experience or unable to attend a course for reasons beyond your control, please contact us. We will do our best to provide a solution that meets your individual needs. Please keep in mind that in many instances, classroom space, instructor arrangements, and course materials are scheduled and purchased based on expected class enrollments shortly before the class begins. Therefore, we ask that you submit any drop requests four calendar days prior to the first day of class. This will ensure that you receive a full refund and allow us to adjust our class rolls appropriately. Drop requests can be made online or by phone (801-581-6461).

Should you need to drop after four calendar days prior to the beginning of the class, please contact Technology Education directly at (801) 585-6061 so that we may identify the best option to meet your individual circumstances.
