In addition to accepting registrations by mail, The Scarsdale Adult School has partnered with PayPal in order to accept credit card payments for online registration. PayPal, a subsidiary of eBay, is a global leader in online payment solutions with state of the art security features -- their privacy policy can be reviewed here.

PayPal securely maintains all of your personal data and transfers payments electronically to the Adult School -- at no point during the transaction will the Scarsdale Adult School come into contact with or collect your credit/debit card information.

How do I register for a class online?

To register online, click the "Add To Cart" button (see example of icon below) that appears on the bottom-left of each course description's web page (to the left of the Time/Date/Cost section).



Clicking this button will bring up a new browser window (or browser tab, depending on your computer's settings) with the contents of your PayPal shopping cart (see below for an example of this screen).



From this screen, you have several options:

1. Change the quantity of courses your are registering for. You would use this option if registering for more than one person. Simply change the quantity to the appropriate figure and then click the "Update Cart" button. (Please see "How do I register for more than one person?" for more information on this topic)
    
2. If you added a course by accident, you can remove it from your cart by checking the appropriate box in the "Remove" column and then clicking the "Update Cart" button.
    
3. If you would like to register for additional courses, click the "Continue Shopping" button (if you are using AOL as your web browser, you will not see this button; simply close the browser window by clicking the X in the upper-right corner -- you will not "lose" the course or courses that you have already selected). To add more courses to your cart, simply go to the web page for the course or courses you are interested in and follow the directions above.
   
   If you have closed your shopping cart, you may return at any time by clicking the "View Cart" button (see example below) located on the left-hand side of our web site.
   
   
    
4. If you have finished selecting your course or courses, click on the "Secure Checkout" button on the PayPal shopping cart webpage. This will initiate the electronic payment process.

Once the checkout process has initiated, you will be given the option to log-in to an existing PayPal account if you already have one. If you do not have an account (you do not need one) and do not wish to create one, simply click where it says "Don't have a PayPal account?" and fill in the billing information that is requested.

You may use a credit or debit card for payment. If using a debit card, proceed through the payment process as if you are entering credit card information, i.e. card company, card number, expiration date, etc. During this process there is no visual on-screen distinction between credit and debit card payments.

After you have filled in your billing information, you will see either a link or a box for "Additional Contact Information" (depending on your browser). If you are registering for more than one person, we ask that you please include contact information (i.e. name, address, phone) for the other people you are registering for. Also, if you would like to include additional contact information for yourself (i.e. a second phone number), please include it here.

How do I register for more than one person?

If you would like to register for more than one person, simply adjust the "Quantity" in your shopping cart to reflect the number of people you are registering for. After selecting the appropriate quantity, click on the "Update Cart" button.

If you are registering for more than one person, please enter each additional person's contact information in the "Additional Contact Information" section.

What form of payments can I use?

PayPal currently accepts both credit and debit cards from Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. If you have a PayPal account, you can also select to pay by e-check, or have funds directly debited from your linked bank account.

If using a debit card, proceed through the payment process as if you are entering credit card information, i.e. card company, card number, expiration date, etc. During this process there is no visual on-screen distinction between credit and debit card payments.

How will the charge appear on my credit card statement?

Charges will appear as PAYPAL *SCARS ADULT

What is the "Additional Contact Information" section for?

If you are registering for more than one person, please include the additional registrants' contact information (i.e. name, address, phone) in this section. You may also wish to include additional contact information for yourself (i.e. a second phone number).

How will I know if my payment has been received?

You will receive an automatically generated e-mail from PayPal (to the e-mail address you provide during "checkout") indicating the receipt of your payment. We suggest you keep a copy for your records. If you do not receive a confirmation, please check your spam folder, as your e-mail provider might have accidentally flagged the confirmation as such.
