Tuition is only refundable for group classes when CourseHorse is notified at least 6 business days prior to the session start date.
Either way, students are responsible for notifying CourseHorse that they wish to drop a class or workshop; not attending the first class does not constitute an official cancellation.
If you must drop a class within 6 business days of the first session, no refund or credit will be given (except in the event of documented medical reasons with a physician’s note or other extenuating circumstances).
The school does not offer makeup sessions for missed classes. However, if you must miss a class due to illness or extreme weather, the school will offer a complimentary work session once the course is complete and the student is confident with their skills. While classes are rarely canceled, students will receive a full refund without a processing fee if a cancellation does occur.
