Enrollment
All classes are limited in size. Registrations are accepted in the order in which they are received. If the class size is exceeded, you will be so notified by email. In such cases, payments received will either be refunded or applied to a future course offering as you prefer.

Course Confirmation
A confirmation email will be sent to you upon our completion of your course registration. Do not purchase non-refundable transportation tickets until such time as you receive the confirmation email from us.

Cancellation Policies
We will issue refunds for cancellations made in writing by 5 p.m. ET if done so at least ten business days prior to the first day of class (minus a $75 processing free). There is no refund for cancellations made within ten business days of class or for students who fail to attend the entire course of instruction.

If we must cancel a course offering for any reason, your enrollment fees will be reimbursed in full. However, we will not be responsible for any cancellation changes/charges assessed by airlines, hotel or travel agencies. Courses may be cancelled at our discretion.

Course Schedule
Classes normally run from 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. with hourly breaks and lunch around noon. These are intense courses and may require evening reading assignments.

Exams
There will be a one-hour final exam.
