PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE REGISTERING FOR CLASSES

We understand that advanced registration for twelve-week sessions may be difficult for some, but it will allow us to determine when a class has sufficient participation to cover the instructors’ fees, and it will relieve the instructors from collecting class fees as they have done in the past. In cases where people may not choose or be available to sign up for three months, we will do our best to allow sign up for shorter periods. Our policy will be to first accommodate people who wish to register for the full 13-week session and then accept as many “part-timers” as space allows. Please note: Westport residents will receive priority in all classes that have space limitations. Refunds will be granted for up to two weeks prior to the start of any program. A full refund will be granted should the Center need to cancel a program. A credit will be issued should a medical or other extenuating circumstance arise. Scholarships for Westport residents are available by contacting WCSA Director, Susan Pfister at 203-341-5098. All requests will be kept confidential. Registration for Westport residents will begin on Monday, Sept. 9, 2019 at 7:30 a.m. You will only be able to register for yourself or one household member. Numbers will be given out at 7:30 a.m. by the WCSA staff to assure a fair and orderly registration. Please do not come early. Please complete the registration form on the back page in advance to help expedite the registration process. Out of town registration will begin on Monday, September 16, 2019 at 7:30 a.m. Please note: A $10.00 late fee will be added for anyone registering after Sept. 28th for any class that runs the entire semester, i.e. yoga, aerobic chair, sculpture, fitness, bridge lessons, Pilates, dance and stretch, etc. *********************************************************************** Go Green and Save Paper!
