Cancellations and Updates. Class schedules for each quarter are created in the middle of the previous quarter and published in the monthly Leisure News. Changes may occasionally be made in the schedule as circumstances require, and a class may be cancelled if there are fewer than five students registered. Students will be notified by phone if a class is cancelled. However, it is always a good idea to check the online calendar for up-to-date information.
Registration. Registration for CLC classes is handled by the Adult Community Center. See below for registration policies and links.
