CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
1. Cancellations: Should you need to cancel your class or workshop registration for any reason one week prior to the start date of the class or workshop, the Academy of Design will process a refund within 10 business days.
2. Make-up Classes: If a class is missed, you may try to arrange in advance for a make up class. Each student is allowed ONE make up class per session. We will make every effort to keep students on track to complete their project. But we do not guarantee completion if students miss one or more of their seven classes. Please prioritize their participation.
3. Date Changes: Your child’s registration cannot be transferred to another class time or day. You may cancel and you can re-register for another class if available.
4. Deposits/payments: cannot be transferred to another student.
5. Balance: is due one week before the start of the session.
6. Trial: The Academy of Design will not take registrations on a trial basis; you may make an appointment to visit our studio.
7. Extended care: Currently we are unable to offer extended care. Please drop off your student no more than 5 minutes before classtime. If you are late picking your child up, no problem, he/she can help us clean up the studio!
CAMPS
1. Cancellation Policy:
Camps must be paid in full by April 30th.
Cancellations on or before April 30th: Full Refund
Cancellations on May 1- May 31st: 50% Refund
Cancellations June 1st or later: Payment may be Forfeited
We will make every effort to switch camp dates if requested, but availability may be an issue.
2. Date Changes: Your child’s registration can be transferred to another camp week or day with three weeks notice (based on availability).
3. Cancellation of Multiple Camps
In consideration of other families that wish to participate in our program, we kindly suggest that you sign up ONLY for those camps you plan to attend. Booking multiple camps, and then cancelling them, denies other families the opportunity to participate. Families must make other arrangements and are unable to participate later when the camps become available through multiple cancellations.
INJURIES:
Parents, legal guardians of minors, and students waive the right to any legal action for any injury sustained on or around property resulting from any activity conducted by the students before, during, or after class time, including outdoor activity during lunch break. While there is some risk of injury while using the machines, there will be instruction in the safe use of the equipment, and students will never be left without supervision. Teacher to student ratio is 1:5.
PHOTO RELEASES:
You grant permission to Academy of Design to use photos of your child taken at the Academy of Design studio or at Academy of Design fashion shows in social media marketing, websites, banners, brochures, and other promotional materials for Academy of Design. Names of students will be withheld.

Academy of Design has full rights and ownership over all apparel design, accessory design, or any design sewn within the studio or under the supervision of Academy of Design instructors at any location.
