REGISTRATION INFO
How to register
To enroll in classes, use the Class Registration
Form on p. 16 of this booklet. Complete one form
for each individual registration and return to:
JCC of Syracuse
5655 Thompson Rd.
DeWitt, NY 13214
Fax: 315-449-4539
Full payment must be received with the enrollment
form. Register early as some programs have
limited space and classes fill up fast. JCC
members receive enrollment priority.
Automatic registration Auto registration may be
made for the same ongoing class next semester.
Please indicate this on the registration form and
your credit card will be billed at that time.
Cancellations, refunds & changes We do not
send registration confirmations. We will notify you
only if a class is cancelled. The JCC reserves
the right to cancel a class due to insufficient
registration. In such cases, a full refund or credit
will be issued. Transfers from one class to another
can only be made with prior JCC approval.
Billing
Membership JCC membership is a one-year
commitment. Annual membership is nonrefundable
and payment is due in full upon
joining. Or, for your convenience, you may choose
an alternate payment option such as monthly
automatic payments from your credit/debit card or
bank account.
Program enrollment Bills for the Early Childhood
Development Program (ECDP) and the After
School Program will be issued on or about the first
of every month. Payment may be made by mail, in
person or via phone/fax by credit card. You may
also choose monthly automatic payments from
your credit/debit card or bank account.
After School withdrawals, changes
To ensure proper staffing ratios, changes or
withdrawals must be made in writing to the After
School Program by the 15th of the month prior
to the month when the change will occur. If written
notification is not received, you are responsible for
the original billed amount. Increases in days are
based on availability.
ECDP withdrawals, changes
Enrollment in ECDP is a commitment to our
10-month school year which consists of three
sessions: September–November, December–
February and March–June. Any program
withdrawals or enrollment changes must be made
30 days before the start of a session. For further
