On our CourseStorm platform, the course description will say “Course full.” You can then sign up for a waiting list which helps us gauge interest in a class. (Those on the waitlist are contacted first, before we open registration to the public, the next time we offer that class.)

If you have mailed in your registration and the class is already full, you will be contacted, the payment information is  shredded, and we’ll add you onto a waiting list.

You can always call our main office, (207) 934-7922, or email adultedinfo@rsu23.org if you have questions about whether a class is full yet.

Please do not go to class unless you have been registered. You will be contacted IF a space becomes available. 

Our waiting lists are a “first come – first serve” basis and filled by whomever picks up the phone first to claim the spot. We recommend adding us to your contact list: (207) 934-7922 so you can receive the call.

If you are not able to register for the class, we contact those on the waitlist when we offer the course again.

Our Academic programming is provided for free, visit our Academics page to learn more.
