Trip SpotlightBurgundy River CruisePractically tailor-made for pleasure cruising, the network of rivers and centuries-old canals that crisscross Burgundy, France’s fabled wine- producing département, are simply the best way to explore central France on the sly. Life unfolds at a different pace in this pastoral part of the world, and nowhere is that more obvious than from the deck of a piloted river barge (or peniche) that doubles as your floating hotel.

As the capital of Burgundy’s wine country, Beaune is practically a holy site for oenophiles. Step off the canal boat for a spell and take an optional stroll through this amazingly well-preserved medieval city to investigate its legions of underground wine cellars, gorgeous laneways, and centuries of Roman and Gallic history.

Underage StudentsUnless otherwise noted, Community Ed classes are geared toward an adult audience. However, younger students may be permitted. Note the following guidelines for admitting students younger than age 16 into adult Community Ed classes.

Students 13-15 Years Old:

1 Contact the Program Coordinator of the topic area in which the class falls. The coordinator will discuss with you whether the class is a good fit for minors and provide registration information. Find contact info on page 62.

2 Once granted initial approval, submit complete registration information to the Program Coordinator at least one week prior to the first class meeting.

3 The Program Coordinator will respond in writing to inform you if the student has been registered for the class or not.

Note: Some classes require a parent/guardian of students 15 and younger to be present. This requirement will be specified by the Program Coordinator. The parent/guardian will need to register and pay for such classes.

Students Younger than 13 Years Old:

• Students younger than age 13 will not be permitted in adult Community Ed classes.

Youth Classes:

• Community Education offers some classes for younger students. Age ranges will be noted in the class title or description.

Payment

When to PayPayment is due at the time when your registration is processed. If you don’t pay by the due date, one or more of the following steps may be taken:

• A late fee of up to 10% of your unpaid tuition and fees.

• A financial hold against future registrations.

• Collection of your past due balance by an outside agency. Accounts in collection are subject to additional charges and penalties.

You will not be automatically dropped from a class for non-attendence. Instructions for dropping a class can be found to the right.

Refund/Drop PolicyIf you want to drop a class, you must do so online via MyPCC. Drop deadlines vary for Community Ed classes. 100% of charges associated with a class will be removed if you formally drop before the appropriate deadline listed on the next page.

Limited grants are also available to Oregon residents age 62 or over who are unable to afford these reduced tuition rates for non-credit courses. Grants do not cover lab or other fees. To apply for a grant, contact Neal Naigus at 971-722-4122.
