POLICIES


* No confirmation will be sent ... simply plan on attending!

1.  Every effort is made to conduct classes as listed in this brochure. Circumstances sometimes make it necessary for classes to be canceled, postponed, or combined, or for instructors and classrooms to be changed. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.

2.   Classes must reach a minimum enrollment at least four business days prior to the start of that class. If it is necessary for OCM BOCES to cancel a class, you will be notified by phone or by mail. You may transfer to another class or receive a full refund or tuition voucher.

3.   You are enrolled as soon as your registration and payment are received, unless you are otherwise notified. A receipt will not be mailed unless requested. 

4.   Fees for all classes must be paid in full at the time of registration. A $20 fee will be charged on all returned checks. A $20 fee will be charged on all returned checks.

5.   If it is necessary for you to withdraw from a class please notify us.
  A.  You will receive a refund (minus a $10 processing fee) if your written notification is received at least four business days prior to the start of that class.
  B. You will receive a tuition voucher (minus a $10 processing fee) if your written notification is received less than four business days prior to the start of that class, and before the second class session. 
  C. Your tuition voucher may be used for any part-time OCM BOCES Continuing Education course within one year.

6.  The above refund / tuition voucher policy does not apply to trips. For more information regarding trip cancellations, please call the Registration Office.

7.   Our programs are open to all persons regardless of residency. OCM BOCES affirms the right for all citizens to participate equally in our programs, regardless of race, religion, sex, age, national origin or disability.

8.   Students are expected to purchase books and materials as noted in the brochure. Textbooks can be purchased in the Registration Office at the Career Training Center. If your class is scheduled for the Henry Center, textbooks for those classes will also be made available at the Henry Center the first night of class. Occasionally, classes are cancelled due to low enrollment. Please make sure your class is running prior to purchasing supplies or textbooks, as texts are not returnable.

9.   All parking areas and lots are designated for student use. Please respect handicapped parking areas. Do not block fire lanes, driveways, entrances, or exits.

10. Certificates of Completion will be awarded for successful completion of classes (based on 80% attendance).

Classroom assignments will be posted in the main lobby the first day of class.

11.   Although some of our courses are taught by people who are practicing financial planners, sales persons, or actively involved in a business or profession that is related to the subject they teach, we only endorse their ability as instructors, not the value of any product or service they sell.

12.   We assume students recognize the risk of physical injury or damage and that they agree to take responsibility for any personal accident that might occur in the course of any activity associated with this Adult Education program.

13.   Some of our students and staff are sensitive to strong scents such as perfumes and colognes. We ask that you refrain from using such products during your training.

In case of inclement weather... 

Listen to WSYR -570AM, Y94, and 93Q on your radio and TV channels 3, 5, and 9 to learn if we are closed. The announcement will say "Onondaga County BOCES Adult Education evening (or Saturday morning) classes are cancelled." Cancelled class sessions will be made up.
