Registration stops at the program’s limit, and no payment is taken for a place that is not available. If a program fills while you are registering, you can join the waitlist for that program. A waitlist is not a reserved place and it is not the same as the interest list for a program that has not opened yet. When a place becomes available we contact families on the waitlist and confirm the place before any payment is taken.

That depends on which payment it is. An initial registration is not complete until the first payment succeeds, so the place is not held. For a later payment on an existing enrollment, we will tell you what happened and how to fix it, and the place is held for five calendar days while you do. A $15 late payment fee applies after that period. Tuition is nonrefundable except where a program is canceled, or a session cannot be rescheduled, in which case families receive a credit or a prorated refund.
