Registration forms and course tuition must be received by the Friday preceding the start of the term. Your early registration reserves your seat in a class and helps ensure your course selections meet required enrollment levels.
Courses without the required minimum enrollment, as determined by the program director, will be cancelled one to three days before the first class meeting. Students enrolled in a cancelled course will be notified by an ACX staff member.
