- In the event that the Institute cancels a scheduled class, tuition will be refunded from the date of cancellation.
- If a student sustains an injury or illness that prevents him or her from attending classes for an extended period of time (more than 3 weeks) or for the remainder of the semester, the family should submit a written request for credit or withdrawal along with documentation from the child's doctor. In this case, the Institute will issue a credit applicable towards the student's next tuition payment.
