Register and pay online here.  You will receive an automatic confirmation of your payment (if not, please email Wendy).  You will also receive an email from Wendy with class and parking details approximately 5 days prior to the start of class.

2.     By check.  These registrations will be processed in a first-emailed, first-paid-basis. If you prefer to pay with a check, please email Wendy, who will let you know about spaces available in any given course and will send you instructions. wwilso35@uncc.edu

Register and pay online here

 

*Before you register, please read our cancellation and refund policies carefully.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations must be submitted 21 days prior to the start date of the class for a full refund (only available if paid by credit card) or a full credit towards a future course (if paid by check). Otherwise, we will deduct a 25% cancellation fee. Cancellations made during the 72 hours prior to the starting date of the class will not receive credit. Credits do not have an expiration date.

Refund Process: We are able to issue refunds only on payments made through our online storefront. Cancellations on courses paid by check receive credit towards future purchases according to the cancellation policy restrictions. However, if we must cancel a course due to low enrollment, we will shred (or return) any checks submitted for those courses, as long as they have been dated with the start date of the course (this is why we ask for them to be dated as such).
