What Is Excursions in Learning?

Excursions in Learning is a self-supporting program that provides educational enrichment classes for inquisitive minds in grades K-9.

What Are The Expectations of  Excursions in Learning Students?

Excursions students are expected to be kind and respectful, to always try their best, and to follow instructions. Our goal is to provide a safe, encouraging and nurturing learning environment for children to explore their academic and artistic passions. Any student who does not adhere to the expectations will be dismissed from the program without a refund at the coordinator’s discretion.

Need-based scholarships may be available in the summer for our Summer Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth Programs. Information on these scholarships can be found in the summer catalog when it arrives in March.

How Do I Request A Refund?

To request a full refund, please email CEinfo@manchestercc.edu by 12 noon on the Monday before the class begins. Refund requests must be received in writing, via email. If you paid with a credit card, the amount will be placed back on your card in 2-4 weeks. If you paid with a check, a refund check will be issued in the student’s name and mailed to the address on file, as is college policy. Refund checks are issued by the State Comptroller’s office and may take up to six weeks to arrive.

Is There a Way to Appeal If My Refund Request Is Denied?

Absences due to extreme circumstances after the refund deadline will follow MCC’S Refund Appeal Policy. Email ceinfo@manchestercc.edu for the form.

What If My Child Becomes Sick and is Unable to Attend Class?

Students who are sick the day of class and are unable to attend, may choose to switch into another same semester course of equal value on a space available basis. Please email us at CEinfo@manchestercc.edu. This is not applicable to students who miss one day out of a multi-session course.

What if a Class is Cancelled?

MCC reserves the right to cancel or postpone a class and/or substitute instructors as needed due to unforeseen circumstances. If MCC cancels a class, registrants may transfer their fees to another class for the same semester or receive a full refund. Registrants will be notified by phone or email, as soon as possible, if a class is cancelled.

What If We Are Experiencing Extreme Weather When the Class Is Scheduled?

For class cancellations due to extreme weather, please check the main page of the college’s website (www.manchestercc.edu) or call the college hotline at 860-512-3000. If campus is closed or adult classes are cancelled, then all Excursions classes for that day or time are also cancelled. The coordinator will either contact you with a potential rescheduled date or you will be refunded.

Will My Child’s Photo Be Taken?

MCC’s Marketing and Public Relations department often takes or commissions photos and videotapes of students, faculty and staff, and campus visitors. These images are taken in classrooms and labs, in the library and other study areas, at college events and elsewhere around campus. MCC reserves the right to use these photographs/video clips as a part of its publicity and marketing efforts. Students who enroll at MCC do so with the understanding that these photographs might include them and might be used in college publications, both printed and electronic, and for publicity.

If you do not want your child photographed, please indicate that on the photo release section in the Health and Safety form or Registration form.
