REGISTRATION TIPS

Don’t wait to register if you really want to take that class.

• We determine if a class is going to run 2 business days before the start date. If the registration hasn’t been made before that time – it won’t help to guarantee that the class will run. Please note that a registration means payment has been received.
• Some classes fill up long before their start date

You can always call us to see how many registrations we have for a class

• The information on the website only includes registrations made online. Call us anytime for the most accurate number.

Talk the class up!  You can make it happen!

• If you really, really want to take it, call us to find out how many registrations are needed and then go to work! Network any way you can: Talk, email, tweet, post on facebook - to friends, co-workers, associations or groups you belong to.

Make sure you know where the class is being held

• Most classes are held at Wells High School but we do have some at other sites so please be sure you check the course description to see where it is being held!  At the time of registration made directly through our office, a staff member should review the location with you and make sure you know how to get there – if they don’t -  please ask!

Not sure you can attend but don’t want to lose out if you can?

• If you’re not sure about your schedule on the date(s) of the class, call us to see if we can suggest the best way to handle your registration.
• Review the “Refund” policy so you understand what happens if you withdraw from the class at any time before the start date.

If you have any questions about a class at all, please call us first before you register.
