Help us avoid cancellations and guarantee your spot register early and register a friend! Refunds are processed as quickly as possible. Refunds for cash payments may require up to 30 working days.

Refunds & Transfers: Choose your classes carefully! All requests for refunds more than two days before the start of class are subject to a $10 cancellation/processing fee.
