  1. How do I select the course I want to preregister for?
    Below each CRN number, you will see a highlighted area that says "Enroll." Once you decide on a course, simply click on "Enroll." The course will be added to your shopping cart.

  2. Why do I have a shopping cart, and what does it mean?
    Shopping carts allow you to preregister for more than one course at a time. Each time you select a course, it will appear at the top of the page. When you have finished selecting your courses, simply click on "Proceed to Checkout" below the list of courses.

  3. What happens when I click "Proceed to Checkout"?
    You will be taken to a page that will ask for all of your contact and credit card information. If you have previously registered for a course at the College and know your College ID number, please input that number. If you have not taken a course at the College, you will be asked for your Social Security Number, and a College ID number will be created for you. Once all of the required information is entered, click "Submit" to securely transmit your information to the College. A preregistration receipt will automatically be provided. Please print this out for your records.

  4. How many courses can I preregister for at one time?
    You can add a maximum of four courses to the shopping cart per every preregistration session. If your cart contains four courses and you would still like to preregister for more, you must first click "Proceed to Checkout" to complete preregistration for the initial four courses. After this step is complete, you will able to add additional courses to your cart.

  5. What happens if I click on "Empty Cart"?
    All of the courses will be removed, and you can either select new courses or exit the preregistration page.

  6. Am I guaranteed a seat in the class(es) that I have preregistered for?
    We cannot guarantee you a seat at the preregistration stage. However, if space is not available, we will notify you within five working days, and we will not charge your credit card. If you preregister early, the likelihood of being enrolled in the course is very high. The College will update course enrollments frequently and remove full classes from the listing.

  7. What if my work schedule changes or something comes up, and I have to cancel the course?
    You will receive a full refund as long as you cancel the course before the first day of the class. To cancel a course, please call 215-496-6158 to receive a confirmation of the cancellation.

  8. How will I be notified that my registration is final and that I am enrolled in the course?
    The College will confirm your registration by mail, e-mail or a phone call.

  9. What if I have questions about the course or have problems preregistering?
    Please call Corporate Solutions at 215-496-6158 if you have questions or difficulty with the online preregistration.
