Class Policy

Registration & Tuition

Course enrollments are limited and classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Payment is due at time of registration. You will be contacted only for changes in scheduling, cancellations, or if the class is full. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, checks, money orders, or cash. There is a $20 fee for returned checks.

Please register early, as some classes fill early and others may be cancelled if enrollment is too low. In the event a course does not receive sufficient enrollment, it may be cancelled. Students will be notified at least 48 hours prior to the start of the class if it is cancelled and students will not be charged.

Refunds & Credit

We reserve the right to cancel or discontinue any class, in which case you may choose to receive a refund, register for an alternate course or receive tuition credit.

If you withdraw more than ten days before a class begins, we will refund 100% of tuition paid minus a $20 processing fee. We issue no refund if you withdraw less than ten days before your class begins.

We do not refund tuition for classes students miss due to their own circumstances.

Discounts

A 10% discount (not including material fees) is available to:

• any student age 65 or older,
• any additional family member (spouse/partner, sibling, child, grandchild) enrolling in the same class

Holidays

We close in observance of New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Most classes are also suspended New Years Eve, the day before Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve. Certain classes also skip other holidays; these are noted in individual class listings or determined by special arrangement between instructors and students..

Children & Teens

Parents must pick up their children at the designated ending time of class. Latecomers may be charged for additional staff time.

Parents or guardians must thoroughly complete registration forms, including full contact and emergency contact information.

Teens age 17 and up may register for adult classes.

Materials & Supplies

Students are responsible for providing their own supplies and materials unless otherwise noted. Students are welcome to bring their own tools, but Makeville Studio is not responsible for their loss or damage. No tools or supplies belonging to Makeville Studio may be removed from the building.

Project Storage

Instructors will show students where their projects may be stored. Our limited storage space is restricted to currently enrolled students, and to one project at a time. Projects and materials must be clearly labeled with the student’s name. All property must be removed the end of the last class unless the student receives permission from Makeville Studio or purchases studio time with the intent to complete their project. Property left without permission after a term ends may be disposed of by staff. Makeville Studio is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged property.

Safety First!

Our instructors teach proper safety procedures to all students. Students who fail to follow this advice will be guided to the correct approach to protect themselves and others. It has not happened yet, but we reserve the right to ask a student to leave if proper safety procedures are not observed.
