Seminars & registration

The School’s teaching happens in seminars and special events—many open to the public, some members-only. This guide walks through finding one and registering.

Finding what’s on

• Program is the academic year’s offerings—the teaching seminars, the cartels that have formed, and the standing reading groups.
• Events lists standalone, one-off events—special events, Days of Assembly, Working Days, and scholarly seminar series.
• Calendar shows everything together on a month grid.

Each seminar or event has its own page with the description, faculty, sessions, and pricing.

Registering

On an event page, press Register →. You’ll see the price tiers; the one that matches your role is pre-selected. A few things worth knowing:

• Sliding scale. Some events let you choose your own amount at or above a floor—including, sometimes, zero. None are turned away for lack of funds.
• Covered by tuition. If you’re a tuition-paying member and the event is covered, you’ll see a one-click “covered by tuition” option—no payment needed.
• Free events skip payment entirely and confirm you on the spot.
• Per class. Some seminars, or a code from your faculty, bill you for each class you attend instead of the whole seminar. You register without paying, and a few days after each class it’s billed. Your registration page lists your classes, lets you correct your attendance for three days after each one, and has a Pay button for what’s open. You get a note once a week when classes are billed.

Otherwise you’ll be sent to a secure checkout. When you’re done, you land on a confirmation page and get an email.

After you register

Your access details—the Zoom link, room, or materials—appear on the event page and in your confirmation email once you’re registered. You can view or cancel a registration from its confirmation page; cancellations are refunded automatically. If you’re billed per class, classes already billed stay owed and nothing is refunded automatically; write to the treasurer.

Browse this year’s program and open any seminar that interests you. Each event page shows the readings, the schedule, the fee, and the Register button, and registering always shows you your price (or your covered-by-tuition status) before anything is charged. If you change your mind after registering, you can cancel from the confirmation page and any payment is refunded automatically.
