Less than 24 hours before class begins no refund. At least 24 hours before class begins 50% refund. Within 24 hours of sign up, or two weeks before classes begin, full refund. Special exceptions may apply. If you find you need to cancel and have missed the deadline, please contact me for more information. In some cases I can apply the fee you paid to the following term.
I have to miss a class, are there makeup classes?
Please contact me if you need to miss a class as soon as you know. I allow makeups in the same class on a different day, or allow a student to come early or stay late to make up, when there is space in the other classes. I can also pro-rate the term if you know before signing up you will be missing a class; contact me and I will send a one time code so you only pay for the classes you can attend.
