PLEASE NOTE: We generally do not contact students individually by phone or email for inclement weather cancellations. MWPAI and our instructors make reasonable efforts to reschedule ADULT classes canceled due to inclement weather or other emergencies, however, it is not always possible.

COURSE CHANGES + CANCELLATIONS
Course catalog and class listing must be considered informational and not binding on the Institute. Community Arts Education classes are subject to minimum enrollment guidelines. We make every effort to notify students of canceled classes in a timely fashion. However, courses are sometimes canceled as late as the day of the first class meeting. If your course is canceled, you are contacted and given the option of substituting another course or receiving a full refund. It is extremely important that we have your correct email and phone number. Additionally, in these circumstances, please note that MWPAI is not responsible for supplies purchased prior to the start of classes.
REFUND POLICY
• A full refund will be granted for Community Arts Education classes or workshops when an entire course is canceled or the Office of the Registrar receives an official withdrawal form from a student prior to the first scheduled class meeting. • A pro-rated refund may be given after the second scheduled class, based on last day of attendance and/or date the official withdrawal form is received by the Registrar. • After the third scheduled class, no refund will be granted unless it is a medical emergency accompanied by a doctor’s note.
