How Can I Get A Current Class Schedule?
Our catalog is now direct mailed to most Southeast Idaho residents in both the spring and fall. You can also download the current class schedule in PDF format online here.
You will always find the most current, up-to-date information here. All our printed materials have this site as their source of information. We mail our printed schedule two times a year to everyone who has taken a class within the past two years. It also is inserted in the Idaho State Journal at the time we do this mailing.
When Should I Register For A Class?
Unless otherwise noted, registration is open until each class is filled or until two days before each class starts. We encourage you to register early, as many classes fill prior to the start date.

To insure your place in the class of your choice, and to insure that the class is offered, it's best to register and pay fees as early as possible.

Why Are Classes Sometimes Canceled?
Every effort is made to offer all advertised classes. Credit-free courses are self-supporting and all course-related expenses are paid from student fees. Courses that do not reach a minimum student enrollment are subject to cancellation. If this should happen, you will be notified and every effort will be made to transfer you to another section, find an alternative course, or process your refund in full.

Most classes are graded as "satisfactory" "unsatisfactory". If a potential employer needs more specific information and you agree, in some cases we can also give a numerical average.
Do These Classes Qualify For College Credit?
No, you will not receive college credit for any of our classes. All of our classes are non-credit and do not typically qualify for traditional financial aid.

Parking can be a challenge on main campus. However, after 4 p.m. and on weekends our public safety office does not issue tickets. So you can park in any regular parking space. However, do NOT park in official spots, loading zones, or handicap parking without the proper decal.
