Typically, the Center for Lifelong Learning follows the inclement weather procedures and guidelines communicated by Athens State University.  However, there may be special circumstances in which our programs will continue even if the University is closed.  We will make every effort to inform you of program cancellations by email, phone, and/or social media in the event of unexpected weather conditions. 

If you are unable to attend a currently scheduled program, you must notify the Center for Lifelong Learning within 72 hours of the program's start date in order to receive a full refund. No refunds will be given once the program begins.
