Classes

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.

All you'll need to do to get started is click on register at the top of this page, create an account for yourself and presto! You're ready to roll. To see what fall quarter has to offer, click on the Course Catalogs link on the left.

Member registration begins on December 2nd, and for that first week, we’ll only be accepting registrations over the phone or in person. No fax, no mail and no online registration, please!

Then on December 9th, 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:

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.
