If a test event is full, you may request to be added to the waitlist. There is no charge to join a waitlist, and payment is not required unless a seat becomes available and you are offered registration.

If a seat opens, Continuing Education will contact individuals on the waitlist in the order they were added. The timeframe to accept registration may vary depending on the testing date and circumstances. If you do not respond within the timeframe provided, the seat may be offered to the next person on the waitlist.

Full payment is required at the time of registration. We accept cash, check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.

A $25 fee will be charged for any check returned due to insufficient funds.

To cancel or transfer your registration, please contact Continuing Education at 612-659-6500.

If you cancel your registration at least three full business days before the start of the class, you will receive a full refund.

Cancellations requested fewer than three full business days before the class start date are not eligible for a refund.

For testing appointments, cancellation or rescheduling requests must also be made at least three full business days before the scheduled test date. A $15 administrative fee applies to all testing appointment cancellations and rescheduling requests, regardless of when the request is made.

Occasionally, a course may be cancelled due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances. If a course is cancelled, Continuing Education will notify registered students by email and/or phone at least 24 hours before the scheduled start date whenever possible.

When a course is cancelled, we will make every effort to transfer your registration to a future offering that meets your needs. If an alternative course date is not available or does not work with your schedule, a full refund will be issued.

If Minneapolis College closes due to severe weather or other emergency conditions, information will be posted on the Minneapolis College website and shared through the College's notification channels.
