Registration Policy

Early registration is required as class sizes are limited and many courses fill quickly. A registration confirmation will be sent via email or regular mail after payment is received. Registrations are accepted by mail, fax, phone, on-line or walk-in.

Make checks and money orders payable to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania.

Please note that there is a $50 return check fee. Registration is not valid until payment is received and processed. Cash is not accepted.
