As always, we have worked hard to offer you interesting courses. For the tuition charge of $75, you may select 2 twelve-week courses, or 1 twelve-week and 2 six-week courses, or 4 six-week courses.

Starting the first week of the semester members may enroll (at no additional cost) in any additional courses in which there is not full enrollment. These courses will be posted on the bulletin board in the office area. Note that we have over 2000 available seats in all the classes combined. But please note that some classes only allow 15 students. If you want to be one of those 15, register early, and note backup courses on your registration form should you be number 16 and not get into your first choice. Most classes have 20-35 available openings and a few allow up to 60 students. Hopefully we will all have a great semester.

 


PLEASE use the additional course lines on your registration sheet for 2 reasons:

  1. We are limiting class size to either room size or smaller in cases where there are individual instruction/assignments.

  2. If you have a class listed in the lower section that is unde- registered, you may get an extra class immediately we are working on this).

Please follow these important steps.

  1. Read the catalog carefully. If a course is listed with an asterisk (*) you may consult the Academy website (www.allcapecod.org) for a longer description of the course content.

  2. Follow the course selection instructions on the registration form. List the initial course selections you would like, followed by extra choices in case your initial choices are already filled. Keep a copy of your course requests.

  3. Mail or hand carry your $75 check and completed registration form to the A.L.L. office at the address shown on the registration form.

  4. If you do not receive a phone call from the office, it means your initial or alternate course choices have been granted.

  5. If there is a discrepancy between the student schedule you receive and the course catalog, follow the course catalog information, unless a correction notice is included.

  6. Assignments to classes are made according to the order in which registration forms are received. Please mail or hand carry your registration form and check to the A.L.L. office as quickly as possible.
