Submit a signed registration form and pay the required deposit. Students can register in person, by USPS mail or e-mail. Registration forms are available to download from the School’s Web site, paper forms are available at the School and in the centerfold of the course catalog.

When should you register?
Individual and partner lessons are open for enrollment throughout the year. The School recommends that you enroll during the Early Registration Period which begins on May 6, 2011 and continues until June 25, 2011. Returning students receive special consideration in scheduling if they register during this time. After the term has started, students must register at least 1 week before their intended start date. Group classes remain open until the 4th week of classes or until the enrollment maximum has been met.

What is the School's placement process?
INDIVIDUAL / PARTNER INSTRUCTION:
Returning students should consult with their current instructor to set a lesson length and timefor the new academic year.
New students age 5 and under or all students with previous experience are invited to schedule a placement appointment with a Department Chairperson to discuss instructors and courses of study.
New students over the age of 5 and without previous experience are encouraged to enroll in Beginner Group Classes. If interested in individual lessons, Student Support Services will identify an appropriate instructor based on availability and area of expertise.

GROUP INSTRUCTION:
Students interested in group instruction will be placed by Student Support Services or the department chairperson into the appropriate class according to age, availability and skill level.

How will you be notified of your start date?
Families will receive confirmation of their enrollment, with a schedule and calendar, by mail.

What if you have a conflict, how do you change your schedule?
INDIVIDUAL / PARTNER INSTRUCTION:
Before the term has started, please inform Student Support Services of any scheduling problems and they will attempt to accommodate your needs. After the term has started, families can confer with their individual lesson instructor. Some changes may require consultation with a department chairperson.

GROUP INSTRUCTION:
Most group classes will have both weekday and Saturday options, students may transfer to another appropriate section of a class, subject to availability.

How do you change instructors?
The School recognizes that there are many reasons for wanting to change instructors and respects and honors your wishes. Additionally, the School strives to make this process as seamless and stress free as possible. Contact Student Support Services to schedule an appointment to speak with your department chairperson about your desire to change instructors.
