2. Logging into the room

Please attempt to log in to the room at least 24 hours before the class.  This is necessary to allow time to assist you should you have difficulties.  Given the number of class participants, we hope you can understand we cannot guarantee timely access to the classroom without 24 hours notice and will not be able to provide class fee refunds with less than 24 hours notice of problems.
