Communication

Class enrollment and transfer confirmations, supply list changes, cancellation notices, surveys, and other important notifications are sent via email. Please add [email protected] and [email protected] to your email contact list to prevent important messages and confirmations from being sent to your spam folder. Due to the volume of communication received, the Education Department infrequently contacts students via telephone or USPS mail.

Youth Enrollment

Students must be 18 or older to register for adult classes. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the KAC Education Department staff and the class instructor. Those interested in registering their children ages 17 and under in adult classes must call or visit the KAC Education Office for permission to register.

Waitlist

If a class is full, students may sign up online for the waitlist. If an enrolled student withdraws, waitlisted students will be contacted in the order of the list.

If a waitlisted student does not register for the available space within one business day of being contacted, the space will be offered to the next person on the waitlist. If there is no one else on the waitlist, the space may be opened to the general public for registration.
