Requests received: • Three or more business days prior the start of class receive a full refund/credit. • One to two business days prior the start of class incur a $5 administrative fee. Refunds/credits are not available for oneday workshops or one-day camps. • After the first class and before the second class incur a $5 administrative fee and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. You may receive no refund/credit or a partial refund/ credit if the enrollment falls below the minimum number of participants needed to hold a class or if supply costs are incurred on your behalf. • After the third class will not be issued a refund/credit.
