What are your office hours?
On the left navigation bar, click on "Contact Us" to see our office hours and where we are located.
Will I receive confirmation?
No class confirmations are sent, however you can print your schedule and receipt from your online student account at My.Maricopa.edu. To confirm your class or class location, call (602) 787-6800. Payment for noncredit classes is due when you enroll. Your enrollment in the class is not guaranteed until payment is received.
What if the class is full?
Sign up early as class sizes are limited. If the class you want to take is full, contact Continuing Education at (602) 787-6800 to be placed on a waiting list. On occasion a second class may be formed if there are enough names on the list.
What if a class cancels?
Noncredit courses are self-supporting and all course related expenses are paid from student registration fees. Courses that do not meet a minimum student enrollment are subject to cancellation. If that should happen, every effort will be made to notify you by telephone to transfer you to another section, find you an alternate course, or process your refund.
Can I attend the first class before I register for it?
You must be registered, paid, and on the roster, before you can attend any Noncredit class.
Do I have to register for a free class?
Yes, there are only so many seats in any given class available.
Where are classes held?
Most classes are held at PVCC Main campus. Locations listed as TBA are usually held on the Main campus and students will be notified 1-2 days prior to the class as to the room number.
PVCC Black Mountain classes are held at the new PVCC Black Mountain facility in Cave Creek, located at 34308 N 60th St, Scottsdale. You can also check back here a few days prior to class for updated room numbers.
Are there age requirements?

Supplies and Textbooks?
Some classes have required or optional supplies and books in addition to the course fee, which are noted in the course description. The Bookstore’s phone number is (602) 787-7120. Art supply lists are linked on the Arts and Crafts page. On occasion, courses are cancelled for low enrollment. Prior to investing in new materials, or if you do not have internet access, call Continuing Education at (602) 787-6800 one week before class to verify class status.
When is the campus closed?
Please see the school's academic calendar.
What is the refund policy?
If a class is cancelled by the College, you will be notified and entitled to a full refund of the registration fee. Refunds are automatically processed back to a debit/credit card within a week. Check refunds take up to 8 weeks.
If you choose to withdraw from a class, please notify us at least two full business days prior to the first course session so that other waiting students may be enrolled in your place. If you withdraw from a class less than two full business days before it starts, a $15 processing fee will be assessed. All fees are non-refundable after the class starts. Refund requests due to extenuating circumstances may be submitted in writing within seven calendar days after the course start date to the Division of Continuing Education.
What about parking?

For classes that meet more than once a semester, please contact College Safety at (602) 787-7900 to determine if you need to a parking permit.
