FAQ
Q: How far in advance do I need to register?
A: Our classes are small and fill up quickly. Register as soon as you possibly can. Registration generally opens 2 months before the beginning of a term.
Q: How do I know if a class is full?
A: You can get this information online or by calling 503-221-1156 x25 during regular business hours. However, be aware that in the weeks before a term begins, our telephone lines are very busy. We recommend that you go ahead and register even if you don't know the availability. Feel free to indicate a second class choice on the registration form.
