How to Register for a Class

Registration is easy - sign up for a class today!
Please note: Due to the popularity of Merc classes, we cannot accommodate walk-ins. Everyone must pre-register.

In-Store
There is a self-service class sign-up counter near our book department. Fill out a registration form, put it in the provided envelope along with your class payment and drop it in the drop box - checks or cash only - we cannot accept credit, debit or Merc gift cards for class payment.

By Mail
For your convenience we are happy to accept registrations by mail. Please call the Education Department first to make sure there is still space available. We can be reached at 785-843-8544, Monday through Friday, 8:30 am - 5:30pm.

Include the name of the class you are registering for, a phone number and a check for payment made out to The Merc Classes.

Select the class(es) you want to add to your cart. Fill out the required fields for each participant attending the class. Review your order and fill out your billing information. You may register for multiple classes - simply click "Continue Shopping for More Classes." Once you are done shopping, review our class policies and check the box. Click "I'm Done Shopping - Checkout Now" to complete your order. You will receive an email notification shortly confirming your registration.

It's that easy! Unless a class is marked "FULL," you can assume there is still room. We will call you if we have a question about your registration.
