Student Cancellation Policy

For Teachers …

Example of a policy covering cancellation penalties...

Deposits are nonrefundable.

You might choose to be flexible with special cases if they arise, like a broken leg or a death in the family. In these cases, I usually refund a portion of the deposit or offer to apply it to a future workshop.

Collecting the balance...
I usually ask that the balances of tuition be sent 4 months before the workshop begins. Again, this is up to you.

It’s not a bad idea to tell students that they will receive the materials list for the class once their balance of the tuition has been received. This usually inspires students to pay their balances on time.
