December 13, 2024: YCSC Announces Course Fee Change
YCSC was notified recently by CourseStorm, our online registration platform, of a fee increase effective 1/1/2025. Unfortunately, we must break our YCSC 25-year record of NO fee increases. Thus, effective with registrations for our 2025 Lecture Series, and future Standard Courses, fees will be $30. However, our annual Membership fee will remain at $25. This was a big decision for us at YCSC. We hope you understand.
