How can I?

 

Register for a Class

  1. To register for any class you must have an annual activity waiver on file.
  2. Register early as classes may fill up quickly. If minimum enrollment is not reached one week prior to the starting date of the class, the activity will be cancelled. If class/activity has not reached its maximum, registration will be accepted up to the start of the second-class period unless otherwise noted.
  3. If class/activity is cancelled, you will be notified by phone. You may transfer to another class or request a refund. Please allow three weeks to receive your refund.
  4. Please pay by check, Visa or MasterCard, Cash or money order.
  5. Registration Confirmation will not be sent by mail. Assume you are in the class unless otherwise notified.
