Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Full tuition is due upon registration. Students will receive a registration confirmation letter by email or by mail (if no email address is provided) within two (2) weeks after they register.
Early registration is strongly encouraged, as many workshops/classes fill quickly.

Also, be aware that classes with insufficient enrollment at the seven-day deadline may be canceled so it is important to register before that time if possible.
