otherwise noted.
REFUND POLICY: For a refund of tuition, students must drop seminars prior to the first class meeting or within the first two hours of the
seminar. Students must complete the drop process by using MYVWCC at www.virginiawestern.edu. Once the deadline to drop for a refund has
passed, a refund will not be issued.

by 3 p.m. or closely thereafter; decisions to cancel day classes or events will be made by 6 a.m. or closely thereafter. Class cancellations due
