Refund Policy

Our classes are offered on a first-come-first-served basis.  Our classes require a minimum number of students enrolled in order for the class to continue for the term.

However, if a student finds that they have enrolled in the wrong class or are unable to continue for some reason, you can obtain a refund request at the campus office.  Refunds are subject to a $10 service fee and are pro-rated based on the number of session that have already met at the time of the request.

Waiting Lists and Late Registration are available. If the section is not already full, you may enroll at any time during the term.  Remember, that you will have missed some instruction when you enroll after the term has started.  Instructors will do their best to assist you in "catching up," but you need to realize that you cannot be given the undivided attention of the teacher.
