ACT 2

Class Cancellations

SCC reserves the right to cancel any ACT 2 class and may reduce class hours or reschedule classes as needed. ACT 2 typically initiates cancellations based on enrollment numbers two business days in advance of the class start date. This two day rule applies to each class individually because ACT 2 classes start and stop throughout the term.

Class fees will be refunded automatically for class cancellations. When classes experience changes, the ACT 2 program will contact students and give them the option of remaining enrolled or being refunded.

If you are no longer able to attend a class, please call Non-Credit Registration at (509) 533-8500. This transaction ideally will occur before the first day of class or very early in the session.

If changing, or swapping, classes, students are responsible for paying any outstanding balance if the new class is more expensive than the previous class. If the new class is less than the previous class, a refund for the difference will be initiated.

Email

Students receive several emails when taking ACT 2 classes.

• Bigfoot Email Address Creation
  • Spokane Colleges IT creates a specific Spokane Community College (SCC) ‘bigfoot’ email address for every ACT 2 student. 
• Books
  • ACT 2 does not carry books at the Barnes & Noble College bookstore and this messaging can be opted out of. 
• RAVE Alert System
  • RAVE Alerts are notifications about emergencies and closures on SCC and SFCC campuses. For students who do NOT attend classes on campus, these emails can be opted out of every term by emailing CCS.CommunicationsOffice@ccs.spokane.edu and asking to be removed.
• Registration Related
  • Auto generated registration emails are typically generated when a student or Non-Credit Registration initiates a transaction related to registration such as registration, drop, swap, and refund.

Emails to pay attention to come from scc.act2@scc.spokane.edu and ce@cce.spokane.edu. Not having an accurate email on file with the ACT 2 program may result in missed communications. If you are not receiving, at a minimum, registration confirmation messages, verify your email online or by calling Non-Credit Registration at (509) 533-8500. These emails are generated internally by ACT 2 staff. Some are system scheduled, others are manually generated and sent. ACT 2 staff rely heavily on email to communicate with students due to current staffing and availability.

Fitness Form

Students taking ACT 2 fitness classes are required to have a fitness form on file with the ACT 2 program. Beginning July 1, 2026, students must have a completed Fitness Form on file before registering for classes for the 2026–2027 academic year.

To avoid delays in your registration process, you are encouraged to submit your form ahead of time using the Online ACT 2 Program Fitness Class Clearance Form.

Act 2 forms may be filled out in person at Spokane Community College at the ACT 2 office in building 15. The Act 2 Program Fitness Class Clearance PDF is an alternative to the Online Act 2 Program Fitness Class Clearance form that can be printed, scanned, and emailed to scc.act2@scc.spokane.edu, or printed and mailed by USPS to:

Late Registration/Enrollment

Permission to register, or enroll, late is required from the ACT 2 office. Dates determined for late enrollment is based on ACT 2 class mode along with start and end dates. At times additional instructor permission may be required. Each class has a cutoff date, or last day to enroll, when registration closes officially.

Paying for Classes

Pay for classes three ways: online through www.campusce.net/spokaneactii, call Non-Credit Registration at (509) 533-8500, or visit Bigfoot Central at the main SCC campus in building 15.

Registration fees must be received before a student is officially registered. Only students who have registered and paid fees are admitted to class.

VISA, MasterCard and Discover are accepted. Personal checks not cleared by CheckRite will result in registration being cancelled. Cash is not accepted at off-campus sites. Instructors are not allowed to handle money or registrations at any time.

Refunds

Students are typically responsible for initiating class drop and refund requests. Please call SCC’s Non-Credit Registration team at (509) 533-8500 to start the class drop process. A $7 processing fee is deducted from the refund amount. All refunds require at least two weeks for processing.

The following policies apply whether a student attends class or not:

• 100 percent refund for classes cancelled by the college.
• 100 percent refund for student-initiated withdrawals three business days prior to the first day of class (including online classes) unless noted in class description.
• No refund is granted two business days or less prior to the start of a class. A business day is 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
• Exceptions for waiving the $7 processing fee may be considered under limited circumstances.
• All requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and approval is granted at the department's discretion.

Senior Waiver versus Virginia White Memorial ACT 2 Scholarship

The main difference between the senior waiver and the Virginia White Memorial ACT 2 Scholarship is non-credit versus for credit.

The Virginia White Memorial ACT 2 scholarship will pay for half of a class up to a maximum of $35.00 for an ACT 2 class. ACT 2 classes are non-credit.

The Senior Waiver allows senior citizens to audit for no credit, meaning the ability to attend credit classes at Spokane Community College and Spokane Falls Community College at minimal cost.

For credit classes with prerequisites require the potential auditing student to submit official transcripts to show prerequisite has been met. Senior Waiver students may register to audit for credit classes in person on the third day of the term the class is being held in at Bigfoot Central located at SCC Main Campus in Building 15. It is generally recommended students go to the class they want to audit on the first day to seek permission from the instructor to audit the class, attend the class on day two, and then go register at Bigfoot Central on the third day of the term. For more information, visit SBCTC Senior Citizens Waiver. To learn about applying a waiver at SFCC, please visit SFCC's Waivers page.

Virginia White Memorial ACT 2 Scholarship

The Virginia White ACT 2 Scholarship is available to offset the cost of a class. Scholarships are available Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters for half the amount of the class up to a max of $35.00. One scholarship may be available per term per student. Upon registration, indicate an interest in an ACT 2 Scholarship.
