Refund Policy

A refund, minus deposit, may be issued up until 30 business days prior to the start of the program. After this deadline, no refunds will be issued except in cases of serious illness or accident. Under these extreme circumstances, cancellation and refund will require a physician’s written verification. Last-minute cancellations or withdrawals after the start of the program are not eligible for a refund. In the event that a program needs to be canceled due to Covid-19 after registration fees have been paid, all registrants will receive a full refund.
