In order to be invoiced, you must fill out the registration form and attach authorization and billing information, including the name and signature of the person responsible for payment. Please note the cancellation and refund policies. Non-payment or failure to abide by payment policies will result in loss of invoicing rights.

Upon receipt of your registration, you will receive a confirmation notice and a map by return mail. Please register early to ensure timely receipt of this information. Registrations that include all information are normally processed the same day they are received, and confirmations are mailed out the following day. You should receive your confirmation within a week of registering for the class.

At the West County Computer Center, complimentary coffee and tea is available. In addition, refreshments may be purchased from vending machines (both locations) and a cafeteria (UM-St. Louis campus lab). You will be given an hour for lunch. At both locations, restaurants are located nearby (within a 5-minute drive). The UM-St. Louis campus cafeteria is normally open when the undergraduate classes are in session.

No child-care facilities are available at either location. Children who are not registered for a class cannot accompany students to classes or be left unattended at the facilities during classes.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are issued for the completion of all courses except for Kids 'n' Computer Classes. The Chancellor's Certificate is awarded for successful completion of 96 hours.

Income Tax Deduction

The cost of continuing education is deductible for federal income tax purposes under certain circumstances. Check with the IRS or your tax advisor for specific information.

Bringing Your Own Thumb Drive

In many classes, we provide floppy disks for students to save files. Since all the files from the class may not fit on a floppy or you may not have access to a floppy drive at your home or office, you may bring your own USB flash or thumb drive to the class in order to save your work. Thumb drives can be used in most of our classes.

Accessibility for Disabled Persons

The University of Missouri complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992. Persons requiring auxiliary aids should contact the Coordinator of Special Student Programs, (314) 516-5228, at least two weeks prior to the first class session for assessment and assistance.
