1. When a class involves physical work participants may not enroll in the class if they are currently unable to work as a construction laborer because of an injury, whether work-related or non-work related.

2. When a class does not involve physical labor but rather classroom lectures and written materials, participants who are unable to work because of an injury, whether work-related or non-work-related, may enroll in the class.
