After that, registration continues and class assignments are made on a first-come, first-serve basis.

If you must cancel, all the money you have paid to the Guild School, less $200 for administrative costs, is refundable upon cancellation prior to April 30. The cancellation fee is not applicable to any subsequent school’s tuition.

Cancellations received from May 1 through May 15 will receive a 50% refund. No refunds will be issued after May 15.

Unless otherwise stated, the materials fee is paid directly to the instructor prior to the start of school. This fee is refundable only if a cancellation is filled. A student who cancels does not receive any materials.


Miscellaneous

The campus is situated on a hill, so people with serious health problems need to consider their ability to walk between the various buildings used throughout the week. There is limited driving and parking access close to buildings. Elevators are few and far between.

All registrants will be notified of their course assignment(s) upon receipt of the deposit and registration form.

Prior to the start of school, students will receive correspondence regarding seminars, rooming assignments, airport shuttle service, etc.

Students will also receive correspondence from their instructor(s) regarding necessary supplies, tools, materials fees, etc.
