Notice to our Customers:Community Education is in the process of chang-ing registration systems. We know this may cause some frustration and concerns in the short term. but the end result will be a new and better system for our community.

Online registration may or may not be avail-able during January while the transition takes place. But, we will continue to take registrations in the office and registrations can be mailed or dropped off 24/7 in the office mail slot. Call 734-850-6036 if you have any questions.

Look for our new online registration system to go live before February 1 with new features and technology that will make working with Commu-nity Education easier and more accessible. We are looking forward to a fresh new look and a better way to serve the community.
