HOW TO REGISTER ONLINE
For the past year we've been working hard to figure out an online system that will do everything our registrar, Brian, does—but on your schedule, not his. This means if the mood strikes you to register for a poetry class at 2:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning, you won't have to hold that thought until the House is open on Monday.
Member registration begins on May 20th, and for that week only, we'll only be accepting registrations over the phone or in person. No fax, no mail and no online registration, please!
Then on May 27th, we'll be rolling out online registration for the first time. Over the coming months, we'll be adding features and streamlining procedures to make the process even easier. In the meantime, here are some tips for using online registration this summer:
1. If you are already a member, go ahead and register online!
2. If you're not a member and have no interest in becoming one, go ahead and register online! (However, as a
member you'll save 10% on every class—just one of many member benefits.
3. If you would like to become a member while registering for a class, you'll need to call Hugo House, or send your registration and membership via mail or fax.
4. If you have become a member recently (within the last month) you may not yet be in our system which means the online registration software might not allow you to register at the member price. If this happens, call Hugo House.
5. If you'd like to apply for a scholarship, you'll need to call Hugo House and register over the phone or through the mail.
6. If you are having trouble registering online, call Hugo House (206) 322-7030 or email brianmcguigan@hugohouse.org.
Finally, if you just like talking to Brian (and who doesn't?) or if you have questions about particular classes, or you'd like a recommendation, you can continue to register the old-fashioned way, over the phone, or through the mail. Brian is always happy to receive and answer your calls and emails.
And of course we would appreciate any feedback or suggestions you might have—or glitches you might notice—for how to make online registration work better for you in the future.

Student Reading
Spring's end-of-term reading will be on Tuesday, August 5, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Participants should feel free to bring a potluck dish and a piece of writing to share (though neither is required). Hugo House will provide snacks. To accommodate all readers, students should limit their pieces to three to five minutes (one to two pages of prose or two to three poems). A sign-up sheet will be available the night of the reading. Each term, the work of several students will be chosen from the end-of-term reading and will appear in a subsequent issue of Rewrite.
Teacher Reading
The spring teacher reading will take place on Tuesday, June 10 at 6:30 p.m. If you can't decide which class to take, this is a great opportunity for you to hear what our talented teachers have to offer. Registration forms will be available at the reading, and snacks will be provided.
The decision of whether or not to cancel classes will be made by 8 a.m., or 2 hours before the first class of the day.
If Hugo House decides to cancel classes due to inclement weather, we will note this on the homepage of the website a ˝ hour before the first class of the day.
If the decision is that nothing is cancelled, then no changes will be made to the message.
Classes cancelled due to inclement weather will be made up at the end of the term.
