Acton-Boxborough Community Education

Community Pass is our new registration database and all users must set up a new account here.
The system will not recognize the user name or email that you used for our previous registration database; do not click on the forgot username or forgot password links if you haven't set up a new account.  Accounts are set up as one account per household;  all adult and child family members can be added to the account. Each family member who attends a class/program should be added to the account, and registrations for a class should be listed in the name of the person who will attend.

You can retrieve your username or reset your password here.

Email or call us at 978-266-2525 to cancel a registration.  A 90% refund will be issued if a request to withdraw is received at least one week prior to the class start date.  No refunds or credits will be issued for cancellations received less than one week before the class start date. 
Some classes & programs have unique cancellation policies; these are listed in the class
descriptions and supersede this general policy.

All students aged 62 qualify for senior rates.  Please note that not all of our classes offer a senior rate.

We are unable to provide financial assistance but are happy to arrange a payment plan upon request. Contact our office at ceregistrar@abschools.org  or via phone at 978-266-2525.

We are happy to arrange a payment plan upon request. We ask that a deposit is paid at the time of registration and the full registration fee needs to be paid before the final class session. The database does permit partial payments at the time of registration. Contact our office at ceregistrar@abschools.org  or via phone at 978-266-2525 to register for a class & set up a payment plan.

The out-of-town fee is for those who do not live in Acton or Boxborough. The fee is $4 for most classes. Please add the fee to the registration(s) if you are not a resident of either town.
(Note: If you live out of town but are an ABRSD employee, you do not have to pay the out-of-town fee.)
