If the class shows "CANCELED": Class is not being offered, likely because the minimum number of 5 seats has not been filled. 

If the class shows "OPEN": There are open seats and the class is accepting students. 

If the class shows "CLOSED": The class has already started or registration has not yet begun.

IF the class shows "FULL":  The class has reached its maximum capacity, but you can be put on a waitlist in case a seat becomes available.

Welding class information:

Grease Duct Welding and Pipe Welding will be offered to members that have passed the Welding I class or members that have adequate field experience in GMAW.  Welding I will run concurrently with both classes.  You must specify which course you would like to take at the time of registration.
