1. Registration, paid each semester at the time of registration, must be paid before a student can enroll in classes. Twice weekly courses:
Only enrolled in one, once weekly course:
Refunds on registration fees are granted only before a term begins and under extenuating circumstances, such as a move out of the area, death or illness in the family. 2. Materials fees must be paid each semester prior to the start of class, and are required to hold a student's place in class. Materials fees are what it takes to operate a class. These are refunded only if a change in classes was made in a timely manner (by June 15 for Fall term classes, by January 10 for Spring term classes) or if the student was on a waiting list and could not get into a class, or if the class was canceled for under-enrollment. After this they are distributed to instructors and cannot be retrieved. Materials fees often hold a place in a class that is full. Consider what would happen if Student A is enrolled, and if student B is turned away from the class because it is full. If Student A decides not to take the class after all, then the teacher is left with an empty place in a class. By the time this happens, Student B may have chosen to take another class or even attend another school, and the teacher is left without the income for that class. The other scenario is a class that becomes under-enrolled because a student chooses to drop out at the last minute or even a week into the class. The class would have been promised to the other students at the regular rate, but an under-enrolled class is charged at a higher rate (see below). While materials fees don't replace the income of the last student to enroll, keeping them helps a little to mitigate the cost of an instructor's time in this circumstance. Either of these scenarios happens more than once per term and often a week or so into the term. It simply is not fair to instructors to thwart their income in this way. 3. Course fees, paid each semester. Refunds on course fees are granted only under extenuating circumstances, as above, and are never granted for a student losing interest in a class or who drops out due to impending failure. Course fees for under-enrolled classes Table of fees for minimum enrollment for twice-weekly courses, basic course fee $300:
