Spring ahead
Spring registration is nearly a wrap. If you haven't registered yet, there's still time to squeeze you in. We have both in-person and virtual seats waiting just for you.
While late registrations can be accepted by phone (it's too late to mail them), the few days between the close of registration and the start of classes are spent preparing and distributing class lists and student schedules. These will arrive via email by the end of next week.
Visit our website's home page to find our classes and events, instructor bios, FAQs, registration instructions, opportunities to teach for ILR, and so much more.
Already registered? Go to the head of the class! Prior to opening day, watch your email for your student schedule and virtual class links, if any, to arrive.

Easy peasyYour $145 registration fee allows you to choose as many classes as you would like. You might want to bring a larger plate to this buffet. For our non-members, we have 10 "à la carte" Special Events available this semester—many are free!
We offer three convenient ways to register: online, by mail, or in person. Opting for online registration is the quickest way to secure your seat in each class. It's a simple process that takes only a few minutes and doesn't require any passwords. Once you try online registration, you'll appreciate its convenience.

The hunt is onFor members attending in-person classes, you are required to wear your lanyard and name tag. The search is on! The great lanyard hunt of 2024 begins. You certainly know exactly where to find it. Right? If the junk drawer and every other "secure" place fails to reveal yours, feel free to email ILR for a replacement.
