    Class Registration Fee

    There is a non-refundable registration fee of $15 per student per quarter.

    This fee ensures the viability of Glen Echo Park educational programs by contributing to the administrative costs associated with managing more than one thousand courses each year. Registration fees are nonrefundable except when a class is canceled by Glen Echo Park.

     

    Cancellation & Refund Policy

    If you wish to cancel your registration or withdraw from a class or workshop, you must submit your request in writing. Email notification (registrar@glenechopark.org) will ensure the most prompt response to your request, but other forms of written notification are acceptable, as well, including fax, mail, or hand delivery of written notice to the GEPPAC office. When withdrawing from a course, please include the student’s name, telephone number, course title and start date, and reason for withdrawal. Please note that registration fees are nonrefundable except when a course is canceled by Glen Echo Park.  In the event that the Partnership cancels a class or workshop, the full tuition is automatically refunded. 

     

    Written notification of withdrawal must be received by the following deadlines:

    • 8 days or more prior to class or workshop: full tuition refunded minus a $20 cancellation fee.
    • 7 days prior to a class and up to 24 hours after the first class: 50% tuition refunded, minus $20 cancellation fee.
    • 7 days prior to a workshop: sorry, no refund.
    • 24 hours after first class or later: sorry, no refund.
    • Registration fees & camp deposits are nonrefundable. Camp deposits are noted in course descriptions.

    Example: for a class with tuition of $100, you would receive an $80 refund (100% tuition–$20 cancellation fee) if you cancel 8 or more days in advance, $30 refund (50% tuition–$20 cancellation fee) if you cancel 7 days in advance or up to 24 hours after the first class, and $0 refund if you cancel more than 24 hours after the class begins.

    Transfer Policy

    Course tuition and registration fees are non-transferable. If you wish to move to another class, you must register for the new class separately and request a refund for the original class. See above for refund policies.

     

    Waiting List Policy

    If a class is full you may join a waiting list either online or by contacting the office at 301-634-2255.  When an opening occurs, the Partnership will email the entire class waiting list at once to notify all students of the opening and ask the wait-listed students to respond by email within 48 hours.  Based on those responses, we will offer the registration to the interested student with the highest position on the waiting list.  We will keep the remaining students’ names on the waiting list in case another vacancy in the class arises.

    To make sure that you receive all waiting list notifications, please check that your account contact emails are correct.
