General Registration Information

  • Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and requires immediate payment.
  • Minimum numbers –  if a program does not meet minimum registrant numbers to fairly pay the instructor for their time, we will email or call registrants one to two business days prior to class start and offer a full refund or account credit.

  • All fees must be paid in full at the time of registration.
