WSCC Policies

• REFUNDS: NO REFUNDS will be made except for courses that are completely cancelled and dropped from the roster by WSCC.
• CREDITS: Credits are issued at the discretion of the Registrar before classes begin. No credits will be issued after the semester begins.
• COURSE CANCELLATIONS: If a course for which you have registered is completely cancelled from the roster you will be notified approximately three days before the course is set to begin.
• SCHEDULE CHANGES: If a class schedule must change you will be notified ASAP.
• EMAIL IS THE PRIMARY METHOD OF COMMUNICATION: If you are registered for a class or on a waiting list please check the email account provided in the registration daily throughout the semester for class information, class cancellations, schedule changes, etc.
• ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES: We offer adult education classes for students 18 years and older. We cannot accommodate children of instructors or class members.  Select courses that are open to high school students will be noted.
• WSSD-RELATED CLOSURE POLICY: Evening classes are held at Strath Haven High School (exceptions noted on class listings). If the Wallingford Swarthmore School District (WSSD) is closed, e.g. for Spring Break, then SHHS is closed and evening classes will not be held on those dates.

• STUDENT EXPECTATIONS TO ATTEND ONLINE COURSES

  Have the Zoom application downloaded and working on your device.  Instructors will email the class link prior to the class start (the day before or the morning of the first class).

  Be proficient in using the Zoom application.  WSCC is not responsible for troubleshooting personal technology issues.

  Have a good Internet connection in your class space to ensure that your device will hold the online connection for the duration of the class.

  Be in a space that is appropriate as class space – one without distractions to your classmates and the instructor.  This also includes having adequate space for the course subject, including space to move around during a fitness course, to work during an art course, etc.

  Follow all guidelines given by the instructor – these will vary depending upon the class.

  Each person attending the course must have a paid registration.

• WEATHER-RELATED CLOSURE POLICY: Our emergency I.D. number is 2499 (used by TV & radio to announce cancellation of classes due to inclement weather).

Evening Classes at SHHS: WSCC follows the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District weather closure decisions. The District makes closure decisions by 5:30am. You can go to their website at wssd.org and check on the Announcements column to the right. If the district is closed, then all WSCC evening classes at SHHS are also cancelled. If evening classes are cancelled WSCC will send an e-blast and put an outgoing message on the voicemail.

Daytime Classes: Because day classes are held at different locations, decisions about weather-related cancellations for those classes will be made on a case-by-case basis. If daytime classes are cancelled WSCC will send an e-blast, put an outgoing message on the voicemail, and attempt to contact all students in affected classes by email and/or phone.
