Policies and Procedures

Fall classes begin September 27th

Please note: Our policies have been revised. Please read carefully.

Withdrawals and Refunds
The registration fee is not refundable. Withdrawals and refunds are available only according to the schedule below. No refund or credit can be granted without completing a withdrawal form. Requests by telephone cannot be considered.
Refunds of credit card payments will be made directly to your credit card. Refunds of all other payments will be made by check and mailed to the name and address on the check. Processing of refunds requires six weeks.

Refund Deadlines
2 business days before the 1st Class - 100% refund of tuition
2 business days before the 2nd Class - 75% refund of tuition
2 business days before the 3rd Class - 50% refund of tuition
No refunds will be issued after the 50% refund deadline.

Please allow six weeks to process refunds. In case of a Medically Certified illness, a refund will be issued after receipt of physician's documentation. The value of the refund will be for the balance of the remaining class sessions. (The material fee and registration fee will not be refunded.)

Confirmation
We do not mail confirmations of registration. Unless you are contacted, the course you registered for is running as scheduled. Payment and Registration are only processed if there is room in the course. If you mail or fax a registration form, please call to verify it has been received. To verify payment process, contact your credit card or banking institution.

Course Cancellations
The Art School reserves the right to cancel classes or change faculty assignments and makes every effort to notify students in advance. If enrollment goals are not met, a course may be cancelled up to 48 hours before the first scheduled class. In the event of cancellation, a full refund is granted.

Transfers
If you transfer to a course of greater value, you must pay the difference before attending the new course. If transferring to a course of lesser value, a refund will be issued for the difference less a processing fee. No transfers after second meeting date of original course. If you transfer more than once per term, there is a $20 fee.

Missed Classes
If you miss a class you may not ‘make it up' by attending another class offered on a different day or time. This is a school policy; do not ask a teacher to break this policy. Anyone who attends a class that he/she is not registered for will not be permitted to return to the school and will forfeit their registration and all payments.

Loss or Theft
Each student is responsible for their own equipment and materials. The Educational Alliance is not responsible for personal tools, supplies or personal possessions. For your convenience each adult may rent a locker to store art supplies.

Lockers
Lockers can only be rented if you are registered for a course in the current term. Lockers must be cleaned out on the last day of the course. Locks left on lockers after that day will be cut and the contents of the locker will be disposed of.
