Life happens and you may miss a class. You will be allowed to make up one class from the session.

Please request a “make up slip” that is active for the next 30 days. DO NOT just show up to redeem a make up slip as full classes will have NO CHOICE but to turn away the make up student if there are no available tables/space.

You may make up your class in any class that has room, it does not need to be the class that you originally took.

​Make ups are limited to one class per session.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
