Programs

• Searching for Programs
  • You do not have to log in to search for and view program information, however, if after searching you intend to proceed with registering for the program, we recommend logging in first as you can register only when logged in. The program search screen offers many criteria options for locating a program.

• Search Criteria Tips
  • More criteria equals fewer results.
  • Program Code – The program code is the most specific piece of criteria you can use to search for a program.  A program’s Program Code can be found on our website and in the brochure next to it’s description.  Program Codes can also often be found on most flyers.  If the program you want has several offerings, you may wish to enter just the portion of the program code that is common to all offerings, e.g. if the offerings for Pike classes are AQPIKE1, AQPIKE2, AQPIKE3 and AQPIKE4, by simply entering AQPIKE or even just PIKE in the Program Code field, you will get a list of all of the Pike classes and be able to compare times and availability before selecting a specific one.  For 2007 the program codes are (xxxx is optional and represents the first 4 letters of the program code, ex. AQPIKE:

    Ÿ	Aquatics:	AQxxxx
    Ÿ	Fitness:	FIxxxx
    Ÿ	Sports:	SPXXXX
    Ÿ	Youth Movement:	YMxxxx
    Ÿ	Cultural Arts:	CAxxxx
    Ÿ	Dance Arts:	DAxxxx

• Session Code – Our session codes are always 2 digits (representing the year) and 3 more characters (representing the session name).  For 2007 the session codes are as follows:

  Ÿ	07WIN	= Winter
  Ÿ	07SP1	= Spring I
  Ÿ	07SP2	= Spring II
  Ÿ	07SUM	= Summer
  Ÿ	07FA1	= Fall I
  Ÿ	07FA2	= Fall II
  Ÿ	07CA	= Cultural Arts
  Ÿ	07DA	= Youth Dance

Other programs have similar Session Code formats where leading digits represent the year.

Ÿ	07CMP	= Full Day Camp
Ÿ	07SPE	= Special Events

• Search Results
  • Any programs that match all of the criteria entered will appear in rows with various columns of information about the program(s).
  • If you are not logged in, the last column will read “Browse Only”.
  • If you are logged in, the last column’s offering will be based on the status of the program:
    • Check Box – This means that the program is open for registration for members of your status and there is space available in the program to register.  Clicking in the check box is the first step toward registering.
    • Check Box w/WAITLIST – This means the program is open for registration for members of your status but it is filled.  Clicking in the check box is the first step toward being added to the waitlist.
    • Time – If a time appears in the last column, then registration opens today for members of your status, but not until the time shown.
    • Date – If a date appears, then registration does not open for members of your status until the date shown.
    • IN CART – This appears if you already have the program in your cart.
    • REG CLOSED – The program is still current but registrations are no longer being accepted.
    • DISPLAY ONLY – The registration for this program must be done in person at the Y.

• Registering
  • After your search results are displayed, click in the check box for each of the programs that you would like to register for, then click on the “click here after selecting your program(s)” button at the bottom of the screen.  Programs set up as Quick Reg in our system will be sent immediately to your cart.  Programs that have questions or comments in the set up will be presented one at a time for you to respond and send them to the cart.  ( for more information about Quick Reg go to our FAQ’s )
  • We ask that you always click the “Log Out” button on the left menu bar of our web services site before closing your internet window.  This is especially important if you have placed any programs in a cart but not “checked out”.  Programs left in a cart will be left in limbo if the on-line session is closed improperly.  This could leave valuable class slots unavailable to anyone, including you if you decide to return later to register.
  • On-Line Registration Checklist of our recommendations for how to prepare to take advantage of on-line registration
  • When registering for a program, be sure that the program participant’s name appears at the top of the page when selecting the program.  For parent/child programs, we consider the child the participant.

Membership

• Purchasing a New Membership
  • We currently do not have this option available via the web.  If you would like to register for a program as a non-member and are not currently in our database, you may add yourself by clicking on the “add me as a member” button on the log-in page.  Most programs require a Full Privilege Membership to be eligible for participation.  Course descriptions on our main website and in our brochure will note if program is available to non-members.

• Renewing a Membership
  • While we anticipate making membership renewal one of our on-line services options, the software is still being developed.  When it is available we will begin to notify you via the renewal invoice that you receive in the mail in advance of your membership expiration.

• Making an Installment Payment
  • While we anticipate making membership installment payments one of our on-line services options, the software is still being developed.  When it is available we will begin to notify you via the installment invoice that you receive in the mail in advance of your payment due date.
