Lots of fun, lots of love and lots of good arts experiences nurture creative thinking, decision-making, imagination and art appreciation.

Online Enrollment F.A.Q.

The Lawrence Arts Center is proud to offer a variety of classes in the areas of drama, dance, and visual arts for students ages 2-102. As a service to our customers, we offer online enrollment as an option for those wishing to take advantage of our classes. Read on for more information...

How can I enroll online?
Easy! Just log on to our website (www.lawrenceartscenter.org), click "Class Listings," and choose your interest area. When you find the class you want, click "Enroll Now" and follow the directions.

Are all classes open for online enrollment?
No. Some private lessons, pay-per-use classes, and performance opportunities require instructor meetings, auditions, and the like before enrollment can be granted. Therefore, these classes are not available for online enrollment.

Can I use my member/senior citizens discount when I enroll online?
Not at this time. Because our online enrollment setup has no way of verifying eligibility for discounts, we cannot reduce or modify fees when students enroll online. We are continually evaluating our practices, however, and will let you know when this option becomes available. Until then, we will be happy to process member and senior enrollments via phone, fax and walk-in registrations.

Can I set up a payment plan when I enroll online?
Currently, online enrollment accepts only full payments. If you are in the Dance program and would like to make monthly payments, please enroll via phone, fax or walk-in. Students in other programs or those seeking financial aid may also be able to set up payment arrangements, if registering with one of the above methods.

We hope this article has shed a little more light on the online enrollment process. If you have additional questions, please call us at 843-2787 or email questions to lartctr@sunflower.com.
