Repeat Policy

A student who takes the same occupational extension course more than twice within a five-year period shall pay their cost for the course based on the amount of funds generated by a student membership hour for occupational extension multiplied by the number of actual hours the class is taught. There is no fee waiver for senior citizens taking an occupational extension class for the third time. This provision is waived if the course repetition is required for certification, licensure, or recertification.
