Pre-Recorded Class Policy Change: In order to simplify our billing processes class recordings will no longer be available for purchase throughout the semester. If you are not able to make it to class in person, you will receive a pre-recorded online recording the day of the class. Recordings for all online classes will be sent out the Monday after the class is held- BE SURE TO REGISTER FOR THE CLASS BEFORE REGISTRATION CLOSES!

IMPORTANT: Class registration for each course closes the Friday before the class at 12pm! The Zoom link for Saturday’s class will be sent out Friday afternoon.
