Class registrants will receive written confirmation for each class. Confirmation materials will include directions to all class sites. Confirmations will be sent in mid May.

Payment in full is expected at the time of registration.

We will maintain waiting lists for filled classes and contact students should there be a cancellation.

Classes that do not have sufficient students may be cancelled. All monies will be returned for any cancelled classes.

In the event that an instructor is unable to participate and a suitable substitute cannot be found, all monies for that class will be returned.

Students who cancel after being confirmed into a class will be charged a cancellation fee regardless of the reason for canceling.

Students who cancel their reservation more than 21 days in advance of the first day of the class will be charged a cancellation fee of 50% of the cost of the class. Cancellation fees reflect the cost of registration and other services.

No refunds will be given to students canceling 21 days or less from the first day of the class due to faculty contracts, material acquisitions, housing and travel agreements. If the cancellation can be filled from the waiting list, a full refund will be given.

No refunds will be made after the start date of a class. Registrations are NON-TRANSFERABLE. Students who cancel their enrollment in a class to transfer to another must pay the cancellation fee, plus the fee for the class they wish to transfer to.
