What's your refund policy on classes?
Student cancellation must be at least 10 days before the start of a class for a refund, less a $20 fee. The $20 non-refundable registration fee is included in the class tuition.
Upon completion of an online registration, students receive a confirmation email. In addition, about a week before classes begin, a welcome email is sent to each student with information about the upcoming class. Occasionally, SCAA may find it necessary to cancel a class due to low enrollment. Should this occur, registered students would be notified and refunded the FULL course fee. Class sizes are limited and enrollment is on a first come, first received basis. If the maximum class size is reached, your name and contact information will be added to a wait list. SCAA is not able to prorate class fees for classes missed. Once a class has started there will be no refunds issued.
