The program is open to all persons 18 years or older regardless of educational background or residence. A certificate of completion will be given to students enrolled in certain programs who have attended a minimum of 60 percent of the classes.

Some classes may require students to purchase textbooks, workbooks, safety equipment or other materials and prices are not included in the course fee. The JVS reserves the right to cancel any class due to insufficient enrollment and a full refund will be made. If a student withdraws prior to the second class, a refund minus a $10 processing fee will be remitted. Please allow two to four weeks for the refund to be processed.

Additional specialized classes, workshops and seminars may also be arranged to meet the needs of businesses, companies, employees or the general public by contacting the adult education office. Requests for this service should be made during the week of registration. Inclement weather conditions which impact evening classes may result in a cancellation, and a decision will be made by 3 p.m. that day.
