Some of these Group Online classes will be restricted to participants from specific cities or counties; others will be open to local government employees statewide. If you want to arrange a class for just your city or county, please contact ockels@mac.com.
Fees:
The standard fee is indicated for each class and is paid during the registration process. For other payment arrangements, please contact ockels@mac.com.
In some cases, your fee will be $0 for a class, either because you are an Annual Fee Payment student OR your Council of Governments has paid your fee.
