Nothing Kills a Program Quicker…than waiting until the last minute to register. It’s hard to watch a good program die! There is a point where a decision must be made as to whether to cancel a class due to insufficient enrollment. Waiting to sign up until the first day of the class may mean that it has already been cancelled. Please register online or in person at least one week in advance so that this doesn’t happen!
