Health Center Recommendation
As you know, immunization records must be on file with the Weigel Health Center before you can register for classes. Avoid delay. If you haven’t already done so, send your immunization records to the health center. It takes 24 hours to remove an “immunization hold” from your registration records, so if you don’t file your immunization records prior to Orientation, you won’t be able to register for classes during the program. Call the Weigel Health Center at (716) 878-6711 for more information.
Program Cost and Refund Policy
A charge of $35 covers the cost of Evening Orientation, dinner, materials, and program implementation.
