You do not have to be a Mesquite resident to take our classes.

Preregistration is required. In order for a class to make, a minimum number of students must be enrolled. Also, because some of our instructors live out of town, it is necessary for them to make travel arrangements. These instructors need to know ahead of time their class enrollments and whether or not a class is going to make. A third reason for preregistration is that select courses require the use of a textbook or other materials. We must know before a class begins how many books to order or how may supply kits to prepare to ensure that every student has the materials required for that class.

Nothing cancels a class quicker than everyone waiting until the last possible minute to register. If you think you are interested in the class, please do register. If you find that you are unable to take the class after all, you can cancel up to three days before the class starts. [Please view the following sections for more information.] If there aren't enough registrations by a certain date, the class will be cancelled!

For classes that may required additonal fees, such as textbook or supply fees, students must pay these costs at time of registration, unless it is noted in the course description that fees are to be paid directly to instructor.

Our classes require a minimum enrollment in order to be offered, and our instructor salaries are based on this minimum enrollment amount.

This helps ensure that our class counts are accurate and meets the minimum requirements for a class to make.

When registering via our website, you will also receive a confirmation email automatically. You may feel free to give us a call or send us an email to ensure that your registration was received.

Please note that we do not release or sell any student information, unless you have given express permission for us to do so (for example, instructor contacting student with supply list). As a general rule, we do not send out mass emails, either. Occasionally, however, we may send marketing emails for upcoming events and/or classes in which you might have an interest.

We will notify you that a class has been filled and your name will be placed on a waiting list. As, and when, openings occur, names will be added to the class list in order of placement on the waiting list.
