CANCELLATION POLICY

If a month before the workshop we haven’t reached the minimum amount of students for the workshop to happen the workshop will be canceled and students will receive a full refund.

If you cancel less than 60 DAYS before the start of a workshop you will receive half of your registration fee, If you cancel less than 30 DAYS before the start of the workshop you will not receive a refund. If you must cancel in this time frame we encourage you to find a replacement, and your replacement can reimburse you for your course fee. If you cancel before the 60-day limit you will receive a full refund minus a 3.5% processing fee.  Unfortunately, students who start a multiple-day class and cannot attend any portion will not receive a refund.

INCLEMENT WEATHER AND GLOBAL HEALTH POLICY 

Workshops or classes will be canceled or rescheduled if inclement weather (hurricanes, snow storms, tropical storms, black ice, flooding, etc.) is on the forecast, or if a global health issue (pandemic) prevents groups from gathering. No one should take any unnecessary risks. If the workshop is canceled because of these out-of-control circumstances, all registration money will be returned to the students minus a 3.5% processing fee. The workshop will be rescheduled if possible for both parties.
