non-credit courses during three major terms each year, beginning in September, January

Students can register for continuing education courses through the mail, by fax
or in person in the Workforce Development Center at the college campus in Salisbury.
The college accepts VISA, MasterCard and Discover, and businesses can be billed
for their employees who register for courses. Maryland senior adults, 60 years of
age or older, can take most continuing education courses without paying tuition,
but they must pay for any required fees and textbooks.
Schedules that list the courses being offered, course descriptions and meeting dates
are mailed to most residents of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties approximately
one month prior to the scheduled starting dates of the courses. Anyone who is not
regularly receiving a schedule can call Wor-Wic's continuing education and workforce
development division at (410) 334-2815.
Class schedules are also available online.
