Continuing Education courses at Piedmont Community College are designed to provide citizens with opportunities to develop their academic and occupational potential to the fullest. Courses are also offered to stimulate the creative interests of students. Continuing Education courses can vary in length from one day to several months.

Registration
Registration is open to anyone at least 18 years of age or older. Individuals who are 16-17 years of age may enroll with written permission from their parent/guardian and the principal of the high school they are attending. Students should register prior to the first class. Registration may be completed in person, by mail or by phone. You may print out the Continuing Education Registration Form (pdf format) available here, complete it and bring or mail it along with your registration fee. See specific "how to register" information in each program area on the following pages.

Fees
Fees can be paid at the first class session; however, we encourage the payment of the registration fee prior to the first class to "hold" your space. Some courses have a limited enrollment and are filled on a first-paid basis.

Registration fees vary according to the length and type of course. Fees are: 0-10 hours, $50; 11-30 hours, $55; 31-100 hours, $60; 101+ hours, $65.

Piedmont Community College waives tuition for persons 65 years or older who are NC residents, unless a course is conducted on a self-supporting basis. Courses in which everyone should pay are noted, "ALL MUST PAY." The registration fee for fire, rescue and law enforcement personnel is waived for enrollment in emergency service courses.

Policies
Refunds: Refunds for Continuing Education courses are made as follows: 100% if requested before a course begins or if the course is cancelled; 75% if requested after a course begins but before 10% of the total course meetings.

Course Repeats: State regulations require that students who take the same job-related course more than twice in a five-year period must pay additional charges for the course unless they are required to repeat the course for certification or license renewal.

CEU Credit: Policy guidelines from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools determine that any continuing education course may be taken for CEUs if the course is 10 hours or more in length and appropriate to your field. In order to receive CEUs, successful completion of the course is required. One CEU is awarded for every 10 hours of class.
