CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES
Continuing Education courses
provide life-long opportunities which are available at convenient times
in many locations. Our courses are non-college-credit courses which are
open to anyone 18 years of age or older. In some cases, 16 and
17-year-old students with special needs may be admitted. A notarized
parental release is required, which must be accompanied by the
principal’s or superintendent’s permission. Courses are designed to
improve your basic skills, occupational skills, enrichment, or just for
fun.ADMISSION
Halifax Community College is a public, two-year, educational institution

suitable age who has the desire to learn.

percent refund if an applicable class fails to “make” due to
insufficient enrollment.
- After the respective class begins, a 75
percent refund shall be made upon the request of the student if the
student officially withdraws from the class prior to or on the 10

number of hours the class is scheduled to meet.
- A 100 percent refund shall be made if
the student officially withdraws from a contact hour class prior to the
