Class registration begins as defined each season for ALL class dates listed in Community Services Guide (UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED) on a first come, first served basis, until the classes are filled. Class/program registrations will not be accepted without the fees.

Sign-up early for classes, avoid the cancellation of classes due to low enrollment before the first day/night of class to ensure that the teachers meet their minimums. Registration must be completed by the second class meeting; no prorating of class fees.

Holidays that fall within a class session have resulted in classes cancelled on City-observed holidays.  The classes have been extended to accommodate the schedule, and no class sessions will be shortened.

REGISTRATION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY THE INSTRUCTORS. Outdoor class starting dates are subject to change due to weather conditions. All Community Services programs and class fees are subject to change.

REFUND POLICY:

 The City will issue a refund, less 30% for processing, if a refund request is made prior to the first class date. NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE AFTER THE FIRST CLASS.  All refunds will be mailed within two to three weeks after request in the form of a check.
