To assist you in your online registration experience, we’d like to provide a few tips on how to register.

• You may browse or search offerings without signing in. You must sign in to register.

• In order to sign in and to register, you must set up a profile in our registration system. A new profile must be created if you haven’t registered for a class since July 2, 2012.

• You may set up an individual profile or a household profile. If you think it’s likely that you’ll sign someone else in your household up for classes in the future, start a household profile. When registering, you will always be prompted to choose which member(s) of the household to register for each class.
