If I signed up for a class and pay for it but it was cancelled, what are my damages?
he class was across the country, so, I booked a flight and rented a car (not to mention the favors I had to pay at work to get the days off). They cancelled the class and will refund the price I paid for the class but I had other losses. Do I have a claim for the plane ticket and car rental that can’t be refunded?

You may have a claim for what is called "detrimental reliance" if your reliance on their statements that they were going to provide the class was reasonable under the circumstances. This is a quasi-contract claim, so seek out the advice of an attorney who sues for breach of contract.
