Be sure to have a back-up course just in case your first choice course selection is not available. If you do not see a course session on the registration form, the course is full and not available. Sorry! You can also check each class's status using the link at the top right of this page.

Simply select each session number course is multi-session. If you select a multi-session course, these impacted session(s) will not be available.
