Discover how to find the class you're looking for, what our class cancellation policy is, what to do when a class you want to take is full, how to drop a class and receive your refund, and more. Because LifeLong Learning classes are non-credit, you do not need to be admitted to Washtenaw Community College to register for them.

- Class Cancellations
If WCC cancels classes because of inclement weather or other factors, it's announced on WCC's website. You also can obtain information about cancellations by calling WCC's School Closing Information Line at 734-677-5288.
If WCC cancels your class because of low enrollment, instructor illness, or other factors, the college will call or email you. You'll receive a full refund.
- Create Account
You must have an account to register for classes. Having an account also lets you track your classes, view your payment history, log into the online classroom, and more.You can only register yourself for classes using your account. Family members, friends, coworkers, and others who wish to take classes must have their own accounts.
If you don't have an account, you can create one. On the form, simply type your name, home address, and email address. If you don't have an email account, you can get one through free email services. Once you finish creating your account, we'll instantly send you an email to verify your identity. If you don't see the email in your inbox, check your spam folder.
The email contains a link that you must click before you can use your account. Doing so brings you back to this website, where you'll be able to log in. The link expires in 24 hours, so be sure to click on it as soon as possible. If you miss the 24-hour deadline, you must go through the entire account creation process again.
If you're a WCC credit student or employee, you already have an account. Log in using your existing WCC email address and password.
