    Registration Process  

    • The registration form (link at the bottom of this page) will open on that date at 8 am PST.  Your spot in the registration queue is saved when you submit the registration form (not when you open it)
    • You should receive an email confirmation at the email address you provided confirming that we received your registration.
    • Registrants are added to the class on a first come first serve basis assuming they are qualified for the course, have not taken the course before, and provided all the required information.
    • If you make it in, the AMP registrar will follow up and issue a PayPal payment request to officially confirm your spot.  If you are on the waitlist, you will receive an email letting you know roughly where you are on the waitlist. Once you've paid the PayPal invoice, your spot is confirmed and you will be asked via email to provide a Sierra Club medical form. 
    • If you cancel after your spot is confirmed, you will forfeit 2/3 of your class fee.  Cancellations within a month of the first class will forfeit the entire class fee.

    To have the best chance of getting through the form quickly, please have your name, address, phone number, email, and an active Sierra Club number ready to enter.  Please note that failing to fill out all information on the form may drop you down the priority queue in favor of those who did provide all information.

    Unfortunately we are no longer able to roll people over from class to class.  If you registered for a previous class and didn't get in, you'll need to register again.

    Please note that if you've taken the class before, you will be dropped down the priority queue in favor of first-time participants.
