Classes or lessons with a listed CRN

Registrations for any course with a listed CRN are processed at any Douglas College Registrar's office in person or by calling 604-527-5472.  Please note Continuing Education courses require payment within 24 hours.

Cancellations

Private lessons or classes cancelled by the instructor will be rescheduled. The CMS is not obligated to reschedule or issue credits for private lessons or classes cancelled or missed by the student. In the event of extenuating circumstances or unexpected illness, private lesson instructors may - at their discretion - reschedule lessons cancelled by the student although they are not obligated to do so.

Requests must be received in writing and are granted only at the discretion of the CMS Program Coordinator. Full refunds will be made automatically if the CMS cancels a course. Refunds are available for those withdrawing from a course or private lessons only by written request received a minimum of three working days before the start of the course/ lesson. Withdrawals are subject to a $15 non-refundable administration fee. In the case of group classes, no refund can be issued once a course has started. Group class sessions cancelled by the instructor will be rescheduled. No credits or refunds will be issued for group class sessions or private lessons missed by the student.
