$200 of your deposit is non-refundable if you cancel from your selected workshop and the scheduled workshop proceeds as planned. A tuition rollover to a future workshop is allowed in the event of a healthcare emergency, pregnancy, or injury. Two weeks' notice is required, and a $75 fee is charged to roll over the tuition. When purchasing airfare, I recommend buying a refundable ticket in case of schedule changes.
