Policies
Cancellations:
In the event of bad weather, call and/or check our website to see if
class has been cancelled.  We will decide by 3:30 pm. We will make up the missed
class. We also reserve the right to cancel any class that does not have sufficient
enrollment.
Payment is due in full at the start of each session. Cash or checks.
Student absence: We always review the course material each class. New material
is presented in each session so students cannot make up a class missed in one
session by taking a class in another. No financial adjustments will be made for
student absence. Students may call to see if they can make up a class during their
session if it is available at another location.
