School Policies & Procedures
Dear Student:
We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3)charitable organization. Tuition fees cover only 60% of the costs of operating the school. The balance is raised through donations, fundraisers and member support. We must abide by these policies in order to be here to serve you and future generations. Classes are available to current members of the Lighthouse ArtCenter.
REGISTRATION & REFUND POLICY: Included in each course registration is a nonrefundable $25 registration fee. To withdraw, students must contact the school at least three working days prior to the start of the class session or workshop. Students who meet this requirement will receive a full tuition refund minus the $25 registration fee. If a student requests a transfer to another class during the session or to the following session, there will be a $10 processing fee charged. There may be an additional amount charged if the new class
costs more than the original class. Students who withdraw less than three business days before the start of their class will not receive a refund.
PRIORITY REGISTRATION: Early registration for all classes is open to members of the Benefactor level, and above, as soon as dates are announced. This may be done by phone or in person only.
MISSED CLASSES: The Lighthouse ArtCenter staff always does their best to accommodate all students. The School of Art is NOT responsible for providing students with make-up classes when a student has missed a class for any reason not the fault of the faculty or the School of Art. There are no refunds or make-ups for missed classes. Upon request, we will issue a tax-deductible contribution receipt for missed classes.
THERE IS NO PRORATING
COURSE CHANGES/CANCELLED COURSES: The School of Art reserves the right to substitute instructors for any of its classes at any point in any term and to change its calendar, withdraw or modify a course at any time. Classes or workshops canceled due to inclement weather will be rescheduled according to teacher & studio availability. Students enrolled in courses which are cancelled by the School of Art will receive a full refund. In the event that a course or workshop is canceled, every effort will be made to notify students as quickly as possible. If we do not have minimum participation, we will notify registered students by phone within 48 hours of start of workshop. Off-site classes (i.e.,Plein Air) will receive emails the evening before class announcing the location.
SAFETY & LIABILITY: While the student can be assured that every reasonable safety precaution will be followed, the ArtCenter will not assume liability for injuries that occur within the scope of the subject area for which the student is enrolled. By completing registration online or in person for any course, the student agrees to assume all reasonable liability from injuries related to the scope of the work being taught and releases the Lighthouse ArtCenter from any liability claims related to any injuries and/or accidents that may occur.
