Corporate College FAQs

How Does Online Learning Work?

Everything that you need to be successful in these courses is provided to you through the CANVAS online learning platform. Your instructor will hold a ZOOM online meeting to provide an overview and orientation to the class, and will send out weekly announcements to keep you on track with what you will be working on each week. When you sign in to the course CANVAS, you will follow weekly units to access reading materials, Power Point presentations, Youtube Videos, and to submit your homework assignments.

I Work Full Time- Will I Be Able to Attend Class?

Our courses are designed so that students are able to complete course work within their own schedules. Each week there are readings and assignments to be completed by midnight on each Sunday night. Although each assignment has a date that it is due, the work can be completed at any time as long as it is submitted by the due date.

How Often Does Class Meet?

Virtual Classroom meetings via ZOOM will take place on select evenings. For the RSS1 and RSS3 classes, meetings take place at 6:00PM- 8:00PM during the first, fourth, eighth, and twelfth weeks. Classes meet on Monday the first week, with meetings on Thursday evenings during the fourth, eighth, and twelfth weeks of class. For the RSS2 class, virtual meetings take place on Monday evenings at 6PM-8PM during the first, third, fifth, and seventh weeks. If there are any changes to the meeting schedule, your instructor will inform you during the first class meeting. 

What Happens After I Register for Class?

When you register through Eventbrite, you will receive a message with a confirmation number. This registration information will be used by Corporate College staff to input your information into the Grossmont/Cuyamaca Community College District database, and add you to the course roster.

One to two weeks prior to class beginning, you will receive an E-mail from Janice Melroy letting you know that you have been added into the online class. She will provide instructions for logging in to the CANVAS learning platform. Usually within a week of the start of class, you will receive a Welcome message from your instructor with information about logging into class, as well as information regarding the ZOOM meeting for the first night of class.

What are Your Payment and Cancellation Policies?

Payments:

Payments are due at the time of registration through Eventbrite. You may pay using your Debit/Credit Card, or PayPal. You will receive a confirmation number from Eventbrite when you have completed the registration and payment.

Financial Aid:

There is no financial aid for Corporate College Continuing Education Classes, as they do not lead to an academic degree. Contact Dr. Janice Melroy to inquire about possible discounts. Some employers will reimburse students who successfully complete courses. Speak with your HR department to find out if your employer will assist with courses.

Refunds and Cancellations:

A 10% administration fee will be charged for ALL course cancellations.

Students who cancel their enrollment 2 weeks (14 days) or more prior to the course start date will receive a full refund (minus 10% administration fee).

Students who cancel enrollment between 13 and 8 days prior to the course start date will receive a 50% refund (minus 10% administration fee).

There will be no refunds for students who cancel their enrollment less than one week (7 days) prior to the course start date.
