REGISTRATION INFO<br />
How to register<br />

made for the same ongoing class next semester.<br />
Please indicate this on the registration form and<br />
your credit card will be billed at that time.<br />
Cancellations, refunds & changes We do not<br />
send registration confirmations. We will notify you<br />
only if a class is cancelled. The JCC reserves<br />
the right to cancel a class due to insufficient<br />
registration. In such cases, a full refund or credit<br />
will be issued. Transfers from one class to another<br />
can only be made with prior JCC approval.<br />
Billing<br />
Membership JCC membership is a one-year<br />
commitment. Annual membership is nonrefundable<br />
and payment is due in full upon<br />
joining. Or, for your convenience, you may choose<br />
an alternate payment option such as monthly<br />
automatic payments from your credit/debit card or<br />
bank account.<br />
<strong>Program</strong> enrollment Bills for the Early Childhood<br />
Development <strong>Program</strong> (ECDP) and the After<br />
School <strong>Program</strong> will be issued on or about the first<br />
of every month. Payment may be made by mail, in<br />
person or via phone/fax by credit card. You may<br />
also choose monthly automatic payments from<br />
your credit/debit card or bank account.<br />
After School withdrawals, changes<br />
To ensure proper staffing ratios, changes or<br />
withdrawals must be made in writing to the After<br />
School <strong>Program</strong> by the 15th of the month (or<br />
next business day) prior to the month when the<br />
change will occur. If written notification is not<br />
received, you are responsible for the original billed<br />
amount. Increases in days and times are based on<br />
availability.<br />
ECDP withdrawals, changes<br />
Enrollment in ECDP is a commitment to our<br />
10-month school year which consists of three<br />
sessions: September–November, December–<br />
February and March–June. Any program<br />
withdrawals or enrollment changes must be made<br />
30 days before the start of a session. For further<br />
