Registration Begins October 24
Administrative Policies
Receipt of your completed registration form, check and class choices establish you as a member of the Christopher Wren Association each semester. There are two types of membership: Regular and Associate.
All Regular Members of CWA are allowed to register for up to twelve (12) units at the time of registration. You must be registered to attend each class and activity. Every course has a 5 digit course number, a title, and number of units. Additional classes may be added at a later date, see “Open Enrollment” below.
Associate membership entitles you to attend ONLY the Town and Gown Noon Lecture Series Activity (AC-D01).
For your convenience, the Registration Form is located in the Forms section of the CWA website www.wm.edu/cwa. As instructed on the form, you must enter the 5 digit course number, the name of the course, and the number of units in the first choice section. Please also indicate your second choices in preference order. In the event that all the classes you list are filled, your check will be returned.
Registration is BY MAIL ONLY and is on a first come, first served basis using random selection each day, beginning on the first day registrations are received. Please use a separate enrollment form and an individual check for each person enrolling. Registration Forms may be downloaded from the website but will not be accepted by electronic submission.
As a courtesy to the instructors and fellow members, please select your courses with the intention of attending all sessions. Absentee registered students result in underutilized classroom space and missed opportunities for members on the wait list.

To join the Christopher Wren Association a Membership Fee is submitted with the registration form for each semester. The amount of the fee depends on the type of membership you choose.

Name Tags
You will be mailed a confirmation of your course(s) and a name tag which displays your name and current semester. You may pick up plastic tag holder at the Member Reception or at your first class. The name tags for all NEW members (Regular and Associate) will be coded with a blue dot. You must wear your name tag for admission to classes and other CWA events.
Guests
Christopher Wren classes and activities are intended for Christopher Wren members. A member's out of town guest may attend a class or an activity as long as class attendance is not limited. A local guest may be invited as a guest once, and only if that person is considering joining Christopher Wren. The CWA office must be informed prior to any guest attending. Guest name tags will be available and must be worn to all classes and activities.
Cancellations
Weather Cancellation - Christopher Wren will cancel classes/activities/events for weather if the Williamsburg/James City County (WJCC) public schools are closed. If WJCC Schools are delayed, CWA will continue as scheduled. A notice will be on the CWA office voice mail (757-221-1506). You will be contacted if classes are closed for any other reason.
Event Cancellation - A member who wishes to cancel his reservation must do so in writing or by email. No refund of the deposit or balance will be made unless a replacement is found by the CWA office. Only if a vendor will accept a reduction in the number of attendees will that portion of the total cost be refunded to the member. No refund will be made for “no-shows” or cancellation received the day of the event. Written requests for cancellation must be sent to Christopher Wren Association, The College of William & Mary, P.O. Box 8795, Williamsburg, VA 23187-8795 or ChrisWren@wm.edu.
