REFUNDS/CANCELLATION FEES

Changes, cancellations, and refunds must be processed through the online registration system. The refund policy is as follows:

• 100% refunds available until July 1, 2022.
• 50% refunds available July 2-15, 2022.
• Refunds for medical/family emergencies will be handled on an individual basis. Please contact enrollment office directly to request refund due to emergency or medical reasons.
• Refunds for serious dissatisfaction will be considered only for a class that has produced multiple complaints. Requests for refund must be received in writing at the Education Office, Room 203C, within two hours of the conclusion of a morning class or by the next morning for all-day/afternoon classes. Again, refunds for dissatisfaction will only be considered if multiple complaints are received. The percentage of refund will be at Quilts, Inc.’s discretion.
• If cancelling your online enrollment, the $40 enrollment fee is non-refundable.

CANCELLATION OF A CLASS BY MANAGEMENT

Occasionally, because of illness or other emergency, a teacher must cancel an entire class at the last minute. We try to find a replacement teacher but give you the option of a full refund (including enrollment fee if this is your only class) or taking the same subject from a different teacher.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Class size varies according to the teacher’s preference and the room size. Most classes have no more than 25 students, and some have fewer. Longarm classes can have up to 24 students. Handi Quilter Capri classes can have up to 20 students.

You must get the teacher’s specific permission before photographing or taping his or her class. Do not attempt to take flash photos of the slide screen. The photos will not turn out, and the flash distracts everyone else in the audience.
