CRI Frequently Asked Questions 

There is no age limit or minimum age - CRI classes are open to all ages! 

CRI is self-supported by our students, volunteers, and donations.

CRI offers non-credit classes on a variety of topics, including history, nature, technology, current events, and more. Our classes are held in person and online, during the day on weekdays. Please see our brochure for our current course offerings.

Online registration is available at 8 a.m. on the posted registration date. For current registration information, please see our Course Catalog.

If issued, CRI quarterly brochures will be mailed out and available online one week before registration. For current registration information, please see our Course Catalog.

It may mean that the class was canceled, there was a glitch in our registration system, or the class has already started or finished. Please contact the CRI office with any questions.

Each student needs to be logged in their account to register for the classes they wish to take.

If you want to register for a class that is already full, you can be added to the waitlist without being charged for the class.

We will contact the next person on the waitlist to fill the opening if there is a cancellation. If you are on the waitlist for a class and have yet to be contacted, please do not show up for the class.

CRI charges will show up as "ArtsNow/ULearn" on your credit card statement.

Absolutely! We have scholarships available if you need financial assistance. Please contact the CRI office for more information.  Scholarship requests must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the start of the class.

Edmonds College policy states that all students must be registered to attend class. Registration cannot be transferred to another individual.

Refund requests must be received two or more business days before the class start date. A $10 drop fee will be retained for each refunded class. No refunds will be issued without proper notice.

We are unable to issue refunds within two business days of the start date of the course, or after the course has started.

There are no partial refunds.

Continuing Education programs are supported by course fees; therefore, classes must meet minimum enrollments to cover costs involved.

We cancel courses only when absolutely necessary, but we reserve the right to do so, as well as to reschedule courses and change instructors. In the event that we must cancel sessions due to weather or other emergency-related events or any events beyond our control, we’ll make every effort to accommodate students. However, we cannot guarantee makeup hours for classes cancelled as a result, nor can we provide refunds.

When courses are canceled due to low enrollment, we will make every effort to notify you by email or phone before the start date. Please make sure we have your current email and phone number on file so we can contact you.
