FAQ

Do I still need to register for my courses?

If you are a current student, we will create or have created a subscription for you which means you are automatically registered for the next course in the progression of study you have been following with us. So you don’t need to register for your courses. But if you would like to add or drop a course, or switch to a different course, you simply need to email us at least 3 days BEFORE before your next payment is due.

If you are not currently a student, please see the instructions to “Start a Subscription” above.

Which credit cards to you accept?

We accept all major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

How is my card information stored?

The payment processing service which we have been using for years, Stripe, is one of the largest and most secure in the country. They have a method of securely vaulting your credit card information. That information is never stored by us, nor do we have access to any of the details. We can only charge charge your card or issue a refund. All we ever see is the last four digits of your card number.

What if I don’t want you to automatically charge my card?

If you don’t want us to charge your card automatically each session, just let us know. We’ll send you an invoice each session, with a payment link that you can use for a one-time credit card payment.

What if I don’t want Stripe to securely vault my credit card information?

For an additional $5 administrative fee added to each payment, we will delete your credit card information from our Stripe account after you pay. Please contact us by email if you want us to do this.

What if I don’t want to pay by credit card?

You can pay by check or cash (please don’t mail us cash). Please contact us by email if you want to do this. If you choose one of these payment methods, we’ll ask you to include an extra $10 administrative fee with each payment.

Do you offer a sliding scale option?

Yes, we have a number of sliding scale options. Please contact us by email for more information.

What is your refund policy?

If you contact us to change or cancel your subscription more than 3 days before your class is scheduled to begin, we will work you to determine a refund amount that is fair to both you and us.  

Less than 3 days before the class has begun, we don’t generally offer a refund.

Please contact us if you have any questions about this policy.
