2023 Spring Registration

The first class meeting reminder that we send you will include any current Covid restrictions at the venue of which we are aware.

Classes will be held at Eastern Shore Community College as well as at other locations in the community. All class venues are noted in the class descriptions in the online course catalog.

Follow the instructions below either to complete your registration online or to mail it in.

ONLINE REGISTRATION

  1. To register online, proceed to the form below.
  2. Before submitting the form, check the schedule page to make sure none of the classes you wish to take overlap with each other.
  3. You may choose to pay online with PayPal (recommended) or mail in a check.*  You do NOT need a PayPal account to pay using PayPal; they will accept your regular credit or debit card. 
  4. Submit the form.

*If you choose to mail in your $25 payment, please send that payment as soon as possible after submitting your registration form. Class-size limits are noted in the catalog descriptions, and the number of seats still available at the time you are submitting the online form is noted on the registration form itself. Since your registration is not complete until payment is actually received, despite the fact that a seat was available when you submitted the form, each paid registration that comes in before your check arrives moves you closer to the bottom of the roster. Once the roster is filled with paid registrations, you are moved to the waiting list.

ADDING AN ADDITIONAL COURSE OR COURSES

If, after registering and paying the membership fee for the 2023 spring semester, you wish to add a course or courses:

  1. Fill in the registration form below.
  2. Select the course(s) you wish to add.
  3. In the payment section at the end of the form, choose the third option.
