How Do I Enroll?

Enrolling online is the easiest option and what we recommend.

If you enroll online, you will need to schedule a short in-person appointment where we will finalize your enrollment, discuss any questions you may have, and talk about payment.

Enrolling online does not require you to submit a payment online. Payments will be collected during our in-person appointment.
