Program Cancellations

Programs that do not meet the minimum number of participants may be cancelled. We encourage everyone to register early as we do provide refunds if classes are cancelled. On occasion, some classes may run under minimum but may be cancelled after the first class if they do not meet registration minimums by the end of the first class. In these cases, registrants will be charged for one class and a refund will be issued for the remaining amounts. Program cancellation decisions are usually made 1-3 days prior to the start of the program.
