If your registration attempt is unsuccessful, we strongly encourage you to join a waitlist as soon as possible. In the event of spots opening, our staff will call waitlisted individuals in the order that they joined. How have you improved the registration experience since last time? We’ve been working hard to improve our online registration system to provide a fair and reliable user experience. We’ve improved the registration system by: enabling a virtual waiting room to help stabilize high demands of traffic staggering registrations across two separate dates to help manage site traffic delaying swimming lesson and skating lesson registration until closer to the end of the session to help customers know the correct level to register into What is a virtual waiting room and queuing system? We have implemented a virtual waiting room and queuing system to ensure an equitable and fair process, it will alleviate system slowdowns and disruptions. The virtual waiting room is a static web page that displays the user's place in the queue in real-time and provides an estimate for when the user will reach the front of the queue. When it is the user's turn to access the site, they will then be able to enter the registration system and complete their transaction. The queuing software is to the same solution used by Ticketmaster and provincial COVID vaccination appointments. How can I choose and register for multiple programs without having to log back in and wait in the queue every time? Once you enter the system, all registrations can be completed at one time. You will be able to add all programs to your cart and complete registration and check-out without losing your spot or having to re-enter the system. If I have all my barcodes ready, will I still need to wait in the queue? Yes, everyone will be entered into a queue, however having your barcodes ready before entering the system will allow for smoother, more efficient registration. When can I expect to be entered into the virtual waiting system? You will be able to browse for programs until 5:45 am the morning of registration. At 5:45 am all users will be placed into a virtual waiting room and at 6 am the queuing system will begin. Do not close your browser. If you log in earlier than 5:45 am, you will need to refresh your browser after 5:45 am to be entered into the queue. How do I avoid seeing past programs that have closed and only see programs for the season I am trying to register for?By changing the Date Range filter start date to the start of the program season, customers will be able to browse only programs that have yet to start and are open for registration. Why can’t I add myself to a program waitlist?If you are unable to add yourself to a program waitlist, it is because the waitlist for the program is currently full. In this case, the program will be displayed with a “More Info” button. Where can I learn more? For complete step-by-step guides, how-to videos, FAQs and more, visit Brampton.ca/registerforprograms.
