PROGRAM REGISTRATION
Resident Discount Customers who reside in or own property within the incorporated city limits of El Cajon qualify for the Resident Fee. Proof of residency may be required. Some El Cajon mailing addresses are outside the city limits. For example, communities such as Crest, Blossom Valley, and Rancho San Diego have El Cajon mailing addresses but are outside the incorporated city limits and would not qualify for the Resident Fee.

Referral slips are required for any class above level 1. Slips are valid for the sessions indicated and must be shown on the first day of class. Referral slips are valid for one year from the indicated session.
