INFORMATION AND POLICIES

Sessions: Woodlawn runs on a four-session system: Fall session from September through November, Winter session from December through February, Spring session from March through May and Summer session from June through August.

Registration/Course Cancellation: Students may register for classes at the Academy or online. (Click here for online registration.) Tuition for classes must be paid in full at the time of registration. Registrations are due one week prior to the start of the course. If classes do not meet the minimum they will be cancelled and all registered participants will be notified three days prior to the start of the class. A full refund or voucher will be given should this occur. It is imperative to sign up before the class begins. Registration begins Monday, February 6. No early registrations will be taken.

Activity Code Numbers: When registering, note the activity code (AC#) for each class/camp. This will help our customer service staff better assist you.

Financial Assistance: Woodlawn is committed to serving all members of the community. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify. To apply for financial assistance, please call the Academy to set up an appointment with Molly Cunningham. We strongly recommend setting up an appointment in advance to make sure funding is in place before registering.
