Cash and money orders are deposited and Visa/MasterCard credit cards are charged upon receipt of all registrations. Registrations are not considered final and seats are not reserved until fully paid registrations have been received. Seats are reserved on a "first-paid, first-served" basis. Delay of payment will likely result in seats not being available.

If a registrant cannot attend the class, it is permissible to reschedule within 60 days of the original class date, substitute another attendee or cancel the registration for a 50% refund. All cancellations for 50% refund or substitutions are required to be submitted in writing to the Adult Education Office and received at least 72 hours before the course is scheduled to begin.
