I am having trouble with the website.  Is there a human who can help me?

  • Yes!  Just call our office during normal office hours and we will be happy to assist you!

Why do classes get cancelled?

  • If classes do not meet the minumum enrollment, they will be cancelled 1-2 weeks prior to the start date.  Why so early?  Because our instructors need time to purchase books and/or supplies in advance.  This is why it is important to register early and have a friend do the same!  Also see our cancellation/refund policy.

What do I need to bring to class on my first day?

  • Materials or supplies lists will be listed in the Special Notice section of the class description.  If nothing is listed, you may want to bring paper and pencil to take notes.
