If you need special help because of physical disabilities, please contact Community Education at (352) 395-5193.
Community Education classes for seniors 60 years and older may have their registration fees waived for some classes if: 1) they register the first night of class - students who register before the class begins or register online will pay full price for the course; no refunds, no exceptions; 2) space is available in the class, and 3) the class has met the required minimum seats filled. The student must pay all lab fees or additional fees. Please check space availability by calling (352) 395-5193 the day before 1st class. Some classes do not allow senior waivers.
Call 352-395-5193 for more information or to register.
All credit card payments will receive an email receipt. Please make sure you provide your email address. This information will not be shared with any other organization or company. You do not have to be a student of Santa Fe College to take Community Education classes.
