Scheduling Guidelines

When students register for a workshop and pay a deposit the class is guaranteed to run. If plans change and students need to cancel a class after payment, notice of 30 days must be given to get a full refund. A processing fee of $35 will be deducted from that refund. In the event that there are no students enrolled 30 days before the workshop is scheduled to begin, the topic of the class may change to another title if there is demand for classes in another area of study. Once a student attends part of a workshop there will be no refund paid for cancellation of part of that week. The particular circumstances involved will be discussed and make up time may be scheduled with the instructor when it is possible. Tuition from an unfinished workshop is not transferable to another workshop.

Workshop Hints

Upon registering you will receive several attachments by e-mail or in a letter sent by regular mail giving you suggested places to stay, directions, and details about workshop procedure. Please read them carefully. Print directions to have when you arrive in Taos. Please ask questions if you feel you need further information.

During your week long workshop everything will be done to insure that your class and stay in Taos will be a pleasant one.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions about the course and come prepared to work hard and have a wonderful time!
