FAQs

1. FIRST NIGHT OF CLASS

Please report to the main office at the school to find out in which room your class is scheduled to meet.

2. CLASS CANCELLATIONS & SNOW POLICY

Occasionally due to unforeseen circumstances, (snow, power outages, instructor illness, etc.) a scheduled class must be cancelled. Cancelled classes are always made up (same day of the week and time) by extending the finish date of the course, unless other arrangements are made between the instructor and the class and approved by the director. When day school is cancelled due to snow conditions or other weather or emergency events, evening classes are also cancelled. Look for the Worcester Public Schools cancellation notice on the stations listed below. In the event day classes are not cancelled and the weather worsens, if a decision to cancel evening classes is made, it will be relayed to the following radio and television stations by 4:00 PM (if evening classes are going to be held as usual, there will be no notice): WBZ-TV, WBZ 1030AM, WCVB-TV, WRKO AM 680, FOX 25-TV, WSRS 96.1, WTAG AM 580, WTAG 94.9, and WXLO 104.5 FM.

4. CERTIFICATES AND COURSE CREDIT
