Registration Information

HOW TO REGISTER

Our next registration date will be on November 21st at 10 am for the Winter 2025 Semester

For adult classes, we offer three 14-week long semesters each year, as well as a short August semester. Registration dates for these semesters typically happen: mid-March, June (for August), mid-July, and mid-November, annually. We do not have drop-in/studio membership options. We take all registrations through our website. We do not take registrations over the phone or in person.This is a fairly new registration process for us, so we appreciate your patience while we continue to navigate this change and make improvements. Please see below for more information on how to register.​

 

Please note: Our adult classes tend to fill very quickly. If you are unable to register for your desired class, join the waitlist by using the link provided on the Adult classes page on the website. If a spot becomes available we will go to the waitlist to fill spots. â€‹

Mudflat Perks Subscription
Renewal 

When your subscription is due for renewal, you will receive an invoice via email from Mudflat, rather than renew when signing up for your class or workshop. Invoices will be sent out to members who are up for renewal on the general registration date. If you would like to renew your subscription, simply pay the invoice online. If you do not want to renew your subscription, do not pay the invoice. If you are not sure when to expect this invoice, you can see your renewal date in your online profile under "My Subscriptions". 

Financial Aid & Card to Culture

When registering using these two options, you will need to put in a coupon code during checkout to receive the proper discount/payment option. Please see the financial aid or EBT Card to Culture pages for more information.

Registration Service Fee 

When registering for a class online, you may notice the "service fee" line item. This service fee partially covers the cost of operating this electronic booking system & taking registrations online. 

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Have something funny happen during registration or doing some homework to prepare for registration? See below!

I timed out while registering? Now what?

During checkout, your spot will be saved for 10 minutes while you complete your registration. If you do not complete all your registration information and payment information, you will time out of registration. If this happens you will get a notice and have to start again.

I didn't receive my subscription discount when registering but I am a current subscriber.

If you are not properly logged into the Mudflat.org site before you register for the class/workshop, your discount will not be applied. Make sure that you create your account using the email that you previously used to sign up for your past Mudflat subscription/classes. 

I didn't get a confirmation email after I registered

Confirmation emails sent after registration are automated and come from our website via Kate. If you did not receive this email, please check your junk or spam folder.

I'm a subscriber and I tried to register on the early registration day but got a message that I don't have access to the page.

Screen shot of no permission page

If you are a current subscriber and you receive a message that you do not have access to the page to register, check the following: 

  • It is the correct day and time of early registration

  • You are signed into your account on Mudflat.org

  • You are using the same email that Mudflat has on file to create your Mudflat.org account

​

If you have checked the following and it is all correct, contact kate@mudflat.org

For the class I want to register for it says "Details" instead of "Buy Tickets", why?

If you see the "Details" button instead of the button that says " Buy Tickets", that means that the class is completely enrolled. Look for a class that has a "Buy Tickets" button and/or join the waitlist for your preferred class. 

I am away during registration, can a friend sign me up?

Yes, of course! Just be sure that they enter your information when checking out/filling out the form so that we know who is attending the class.

It's registration time, but I do not see any of the classes. What should I do?

You may have to refresh your page when registration opens in order to see the classes. If you have refreshed and still do not see the classes, try holding down the shift key and pressing refresh. This is a great way to try to resolve an issue when the website isn't loading properly.
