Can my employer pay for my course?
We can bill a designated third party for your Continuing Education charges. In order to do so, we must receive a Sponsorship Billing Form from that party, indicating which of your charges (tuition, fees, books, etc.) they are willing to pay. Any charges not covered by the Third Party Contract are your responsibility.
Contact our Information Specialist (319) 398-5529 with any further questions.

Do I need a parking pass?
Free parking is available on all Kirkwood Community College campuses. You do not need a parking pass to park.

Can I register for a class that is full?
Some classes have a maximum class size and for specific reasons, that maximum number must be adhered to. For example, a computer course is limited in size by the number of computers available in that classroom.
To discuss the particular course you are interested in, contact the Information Specialist at (319) 398-5529.

Kirkwood Community College does not release instructors' phone numbers. Please contact the Continuing Education office at (319) 398-5497 to leave a message for the instructor.

When is a course cancelled?
The Continuing Education Department makes every effort to maintain the schedule of courses as announced in our catalog. However, we reserve the right to cancel courses, change instructors, switch rooms, and combine classes when necessary without previous announcement. If this occurs, you will receive a refund if you do not transfer to a different course or class section. Kirkwood Community College is not bound by printing errors in our publication.
