You are urged to register as soon as possible for any course you wish to take. Some courses fill up quickly or have limited space available. Unless otherwise stated, registration is continuous until a class begins or is full. Registration and payment of tuition are required prior to the beginning of class.

Payment is due at time of registration. If payment is not made the day of registration, the student will be dropped from the class.

We prefer that you register one week in advance to ensure the class makes, that is, if there is non-sufficient enrollment for a class the class will not be held and payments reimbursed.
