General
To request refunds or transfers, please ensure that your request is submitted and approved by the Registration Office or Program Coordinator at least 3 full business days before the scheduled start of the activity. It's important to note that if we cancel the class, no fees will be assessed.
Patrons who cancel at least 3 business days before the start of the class may receive a full refund of the class cost as an account credit, which can be used for future registrations. If you prefer a refund to your credit card, please be aware that a $5 cancellation fee per class, per individual, will be deducted. Cancellations made less than 3 days prior to the class start date may not be eligible for a credit or refund.
Additionally, please take note of program-specific policies below, as they may vary.
We want to emphasize that our operations may be affected by Public Health Orders or weather-related events. In such cases, no refunds will be issued if there are changes to protocols, such as mask mandates, capacity restrictions, or personal quarantines, and if our programs continue to operate. In situations where programs are canceled due to these circumstances, we may choose to offer a partial credit or make-up session at our discretion.
