Email info@actonart.com with any questions.
FALL REGISTRATION begins mid July each summer and every spot in all classes is open for registration.
ActonArt does not provide any guaranteed placement for former/current students during the Fall trimester registration period.
During the WINTER AND SPRING registration periods, students who are currently attending classes are guaranteed placement in those same classes if they choose to continue in class. A re-registration period will begin approximately one week prior to classes opening to new students giving current students time to commit for the next trimester. Once the re-registration period ends classes are opened to new students and all remaining spots may be filled. Students who fail to re-register during the guaranteed period may lose their place in class.
SUMMER SESSIONS, like the Fall trimester, are fully open to anyone and no placements are guaranteed to former/current students.
