REGISTER EARLY!!! Most programs have limited enrollments. Also, nothing cancels programs more than waiting until the last minute to register - besides not getting into the program, it may have been canceled due to poor enrollment.

Programs with insufficient registration will be cancelled three (3) business days prior to the program starting date.
