REFUNDS AND CLASS PROCEDURES

REFUND Policy

Because we keep our classes small, we depend on ensuring that students who are registering are able to take the class for the quarter they are signed up for. Due to our small class size and needing to ensure enough enrollments to run the classes, the $75 class deposit is nontransferable and nonrefundable, except in cases where there is an illness (which will need to be documented) or if military service is required. If you need to drop a class and give us notice 7 days before the first class, we will refund your class tuition if you paid the full class tuition, but the refund does not include the $75 nonrefundable deposit. To be eligible for the refund on the balance of the class tuition, please notify us at least 7 days before the first class. To request a refund in the case of medical illness or military service, please submit a letter with documentation by email to seattleartistswaycenter@gmail.com.

Please note: No refunds are given once the classes have begun. It is not unusual for students to have to miss 1 or 2 classes over the 12 weeks and we are happy to send you notes for classes missed. If you anticipate having to miss more than 3 classes, we encourage you to take the class at another quarter when you are able to attend at least 9 of the 12 classes. This is not a class where you can "drop in" at random and we do ask students to make a commitment to attend at least 9 of the 12 classes and we reserve the right to disenroll students if they miss more than 3 classes (without any refund).
We also do not transfer or credit class tuition from one quarter to upcoming quarters. 

If you have any questions regarding our policy, please email us via our Contact page as we are happy to answer any questions!
