Course Delivery
SLU's Workforce Center offers instructor-led classes to students in two different formats: Live Online and Live In-person. Due to technology set-up, these delivery methods cannot be combined - a student must choose one format or the other and cannot switch back and forth.
All classes are delivered in the Central Time Zone.
Day classes take place from 9 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. and Night Classes take place from 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Live Online Enrollment Process and Policies
During registration, select "Instructor-Led - Virtual" from the menu and verify it at checkout. Ensure your preferred home shipping address (no P.O. Boxes), mobile phone and email address have been provided. If physical course materials are needed, they will be shipped directly to you. For more information, visit our Virtual Learning webpage.
Course Materials
Your course could use a combination of learning tools in the form of books, binders and digital courseware through Canvas, an online learning management system. If a class has physical materials, they will be shipped directly to the address provided and arrive 1-5 days prior to the start date of class. For digital learning tools, expect to receive an email invitation(s) to these tools a few days before the first class. Visit our Virtual Learning webpage to learn more about our live-online learning tools.
Payment Options
During enrollment, you will have the option to pay immediately with a credit card or to invoice your employer. If you choose to invoice your employer, the Center will send an invoice to the contact information you provide, and payment is due within 30 days of receiving the invoice. Visit our Tuition Assistance webpage to learn more.
Some organizations have different fees and payment options through partnerships with the Center. To learn more, visit the Partners webpage.
Cancellation/Refund Policy
If you need to cancel your registration, please call 314-977-3226 and allow at least 5 business days prior to the first class. If you do not cancel at least 5 business days in advance, you will be charged for the class. However, students are able to retake the class within one year at no charge. There are some exceptions to this rule - contact the Center for more information.
Additionally, the Workforce Center reserves the right to cancel classes at any time. We will contact all registered students via phone and email to let them know if a class has been cancelled, and we will do our best to reschedule the class at the students' convenience.
Attendance
Students are required to attend all class sessions in order to receive a certificate of completion. If an absence cannot be avoided, then students must call 314-977-3226 or email info@workforcecenter.slu.edu and inform Workforce Center staff of this absence at least 24 hours before the class session. We realize that last minute emergencies, such as illness, death in the family, etc., do sometimes happen, so these will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
Parking
Complimentary parking is available to registered students and guests of the Workforce Center in the Theresa Parking Lot north of the Wool Center. Students will be emailed parking permits and the gate access code prior to class starting. Guests can obtain a parking permit at the front desk of the Workforce Center on the second floor of the Wool Center. For more information, visit the Directions and Maps webpage.
