VITAL THOUGHT Enrollment Application Form

Dear VITAL THOUGHT Participants:

Welcome! All classes are real time and interactive online via Zoom or Google Meet. You will receive invite emails with all necessary links from from your instructor(s) at least 3 days before your course(s) begin.

Your seat in any purchased course is held for you and confirmed once we receive and process this application. If you have not yet purchased a course, please do so BEFORE submitting this form, unless you are requesting free enrollment.

Please submit this form ASAP to confirm your enrollment in one or more VITAL THOUGHT insight courses. You must submit a form each time you purchase enrollment. If you enroll in more than one course at once than only one form is needed. Later enrollment will require another application submission. No one is denied enrollment based on responses to this application! It is for informational purposes only.

Purpose: 
Our application allows us to learn more about how to best serve our participants during this and future sessions. The information gathered here is shared with VITAL THOUGHT administrators for purposes of future course curation, marketing, organizational development. Some limited information is shared with instructors--like names, pronouns, location-- so that course instructors can personalize and optimize their teaching. We do not share this information with any parties outside of VITAL THOUGHT.
