​Grand Learning Expectations:
Students will:
      Put cell phones on vibrate
      No sidebar conversations
      No interruptions- wait to be acknowledged
      Treat all with respect 
      Share the floor
  • Please be on time for class...if the class is full and someone is waiting, we will give away your seat as the class is scheduled to start.
  • Wait-lists...when you are put on a Wait-list during registration, that is an aid to tell us if we need to add more classes. If a space does open up, you will be contacted by e-mail or phone.
  •  If you want to take a chance on getting into a full single session class the day of the class, see the Ambassador at the door and get your name put on her/his list of people in the hall waiting. You will be admitted in the order that you are on the Ambassador's list.
  • If at all possible (and we know it's not always possible), please register for a class at least a week before it is scheduled to start.  We consider cancelling classes a week out, and we don't want to cancel the one you want!​

​Sample Student registration
Classroom temps vary - 
             be comfortable and layer! 
  • Remember to watch for your e-mail confirmation and e-mail reminder about your class. If you don't get them, your registration may not have gone through. Always look for "$0" Balance Due on invoice to show your payment processed. Common reasons for not processing are typos when you enter your credit card information and/or a billing address that does not match credit card billing address. Look for red print explaining why it didn't process.
  • Grand Learning adheres to the Sun City Grand CAM no-refund policy to issue credits toward future classes if a student cancels prior to the class.
  • If you have Magic Jack, we cannot call you...our phones do not clear your Caller ID system. Please give us a number where we can reach you (we want you to get that wait-listed class and may not have enough time for an e-mail exchange!)
