Ceramics Policies

Please take the time to carefully review our policies in detail before proceeding to register for a class or workshop. It is important to understand all the guidelines and requirements associated with your enrollment.

Early Registration & Enrollment Requirements
Please register early to avoid class cancellation.  All courses must reach a minimum enrollment (typically 4 students) for the course to run.  In the event a course is canceled students will be offered a position in a different class with an opening, or will be refunded if an alternate class is not an option.

Payment
All class tuition and fees must be paid in full at the time of registration. Students are responsible for purchasing required course supplies prior to the first class.

Tuitions must be paid online via the website during class registration.

Refund Policy

  • If dropped 7 days prior to the 1st class meeting – 100% Refund of Tuition and Fees

  • If dropped  less than 7 days prior to the date of the 1st class – 50% Refund of Tuition and Fees

  • If dropped on or after the date of the 1st class meets – No Refund of Tuition and Fees

All class tuition and fees will be refunded if a class is canceled due to low enrollment. We do not prorate tuition, nor do we allow future class substitutions for partial class attendance. All refunds are credited back to the student’s credit card within 30 days after withdrawal and/or class cancellation.

Refunds are not provided for CSAs in the ceramics program - weeks cannot be transferred or suspended.  

Absences
Students with class absences are not offered make-up time.  Students should be certain their schedule aligns with the course schedules to prevent any missed classes. Known absences due to vacation time or other scheduled events will not be offered refunds or make-up times.

Official Withdrawal
Please contact MB staff. Notification to an instructor is not an acceptable withdrawal. Not attending a class does not constitute an official withdrawal.

Cancellations
Any course with less than the required registrations (typically 4 students) will be cancelled within three days of the start of the class. Cancellations will be directly communicated to students. Email is the primary mode of communication.

Weather Cancellation Policy
Classes and workshops may be canceled due to weather. Cancellations are not connected to the public school closures. Classes cancelled due to weather will have a make-up date that will be scheduled by the instructor for the end of the session.  Make-up dates are offered once, it is the student's responsibility to be available for a makeup class.  There are no additional makeup days if a student cannot attend.
