REGISTRATION GUIDELINES
Preregistration is necessary for all computer classes including Digital Photography. You may Register Here! from the comfort of your home or in person at Edison Center. Classes fill quickly. To secure your place in class, register at least one week prior to the first class meeting. A class with low enrollment prior to the start of class ay be closed.
Preregister online 24 hours a day. Click on Online Registration. Online registration requires a credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover Card) and an additional $2 processing fee per transaction (unlimited registration per transaction).
Preregister in person. For walk-in registration, come to Edison Center, 3401 Inglewood Avenue, Redondo Beach from 8-4 pm, Monday through Friday or 6-9 pm, Monday-Thursday with cash or check. A separate payment is required for each class. NO credit cards accepted for "walk-ins". Feel free to call us at 310.937.3340 to check for space availability.
Adult school students must be 18 years and older. Residency within the South Bay is NOT a requirement for our classes.
Our traditional first day of class walk-in registration is still available for most Community Education classes. Some classes such as computers, basic sewing and others require preregistration. Please refer to each brochure section and/or class description for complete registration information. ESL classes do not offer online registration at this time.
The first meeting for a class is very important. If a class does not have enough students present at the first meeting, including both walk-in and online registrants, the class may be closed. If you do not attend the first class meeting, you will not be included in the enrollment count unless you have notified us.
TYPES OF CLASSES
Mandated Classes, such as English as a Second Language, are fully funded by the State.
Protected Classes, such as Parent Education, are partially funded by the State. The curriculum in these classes is aligned with State Model Standards where applicable. All courses are approved by the State Department of Education and all teachers hold California teaching credentials.
Community Education Classes reflect the wide range of interests in our community and receive no state funds - they are fully supported by the fees paid by students. Teachers in these classes are community experts who design their own course of study.
NO SMOKING: For the sake of your health and the health of others, South Bay Adult School has been declared a NON SMOKING agency. Please refrain from smoking at all South Bay Adult School sites.

REFUNDS
We believe in the quality of our program. Students who request a fee refund may do so during the class term for any reason. Refund payments will be prorated, based on the number of classes attended. Students may opt for a letter of credit to apply to a future class.

There are no refunds available for Typing Certification or certain contracted classes.

FEES
How are fees set? Mandated Classes: No fee. Protected Classes: Partial fee. Community Education Classes: Completely fee-supported. Some specialized classes also require a material fee.
What do fees cover? Teachers' salaries, use of facilities, operations and overall clerical and administrative support. We base our fees on anticipated enrollment in the class.
What if there are too few students? First night attendance is important as a class will be closed if enrollment minimums are not met. In some instances, we may be able to offer a class with reduced instructional time.
What if there are too many? Some classes have space restrictions. Online registered students have priority. If we have too many walk-in students, we hold a lottery at the beginning of the first class for walk-ins only.
Walk-in students must be in the classroom by the stated start time of the class (no priority for early arrivals or returning students) to be included in the lottery.
