Important Registration Reminders
Registrations are processed in the order in which they are received. In the event we receive your registration after a class has filled, you will automatically be placed on a waiting list. You will be notified by phone if/when a space becomes available. We will process your payment at that time.
To be placed on a waiting list, register by phone, mail or fax. We will contact wait-listed students if space opens up.
