Online workshops:  Full refunds will be given for refund requests submitted at least 14 days prior to the start of the workshop. For cancellation requests made within two weeks or less of the workshop start date, no refund will be given except for medical reasons, which must be documented in writing by a physician. In this case, the tuition will be refunded as if the request had been received prior to the two-week deadline. Requests to cancel enrollment during the workshop will be handled like a cancellation request received within two weeks of the start of a workshop: no refund will be given except for medical reasons documented by a physician.
In-person and residential workshops: In the event that workshops need to be canceled to maintain social distance directives, full refunds will be given.  If we are forced to operate at reduced capacity for the same reason, available slots in the workshops will be honored on a first-come, first-serve basis based upon the date that the application was submitted.  All other students will receive a full refund.  In the event that the workshops proceed as planned (or at reduced capacity) but accepted students wish to cancel anyway, a full refund minus a $150 administrative fee will be granted as long as the cancellation request is received prior to 4 weeks before the start date of the workshop in question.  This year’s tuition can also be deferred to 2024 with no penalty.  For cancellation requests made within 4 weeks or less of the workshop start date, no refund will be given except for medical reasons, which must be documented in writing by a physician. In this case, the tuition will be refunded as if the request had been received prior to the 4-week deadline. Requests to cancel enrollment during the workshop will be handled like a cancellation request received within 4 weeks of the start of a workshop: no refund will be given except for medical reasons documented by a physician. If the student must leave the workshop for documented medical reasons, the workshop tuition will be refunded on a pro-rated basis.
