Q: |
Why can't I register yet? |
A: |
BHC uses a rolling registration system. In January of each year, all user accounts are "parked" on the website. This designation locks personal accounts so that information for the next academic year can be uploaded and the site can be updated. Users are still able to access the home page during this time. Registration opens for current BHC members at 9:00 am on Friday, March 1, 2024, and siblings of current eligible BHC members may register on Monday, March 4, 2024. Members of The Church at Brook Hills may register beginning at 9:00 am on Friday, March 8, 2024, and registration is open to the public at 9:00 am on Friday, March 15, 2024. Accounts are unlocked in the order in which registration fees are paid (beginning February 23, 2024 at 7:00 am CST). Each account must be unparked individually, and the website will generate an email stating that the account is ready for registration. Please click on the registration process icon on the home page for more details about registration. Please contact Sheryl Turner at (205) 706-8173 with any registration issues. |
