POLICIES
REGISTRATION
We strongly encourage you to pre-register to ensure a space in class. Registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis with a 50% deposit required. Workshops must be paid in full at time of registration. Balance is due on the first day of class. We reserve the right to make corrections to prices and discounts for registrations made through this website.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
Tuition is refundable for all classes and workshops, minus a processing fee of $40 for each class dropped, if the office is notified at least one week prior to the class start date (see chart below). Students may opt to receive a full studio credit in lieu of a refund. Students are responsible for notifying the Art Center office that they wish to drop a class or workshop; not attending class does not constitute an official withdrawal from courses or cancellation of tuition or fees. If you must drop a class or workshop after the deadline, no credit will be given, except for documented medical reasons with physicians note. There is a limit of two classes per student per year that may be dropped with a refund or credit due to non-medical reasons.
Classes are cancelled when enrollment minimums are not reached. Cancellation begins approximately one week before the scheduled first class. Workshops and special events not meeting enrollment minimums will be cancelled two to three days before the start date. Students will be notified if classes are cancelled and will be eligible for a full refund or class credit.
SUMMER CAMP CANCELLATION, REFUND AND PAYMENT
Tuition for summer camp is refundable less a $40 processing charge for camps dropped by May 24, 2010. After May 24, dropped camps will only be eligible for a studio credit. Camps must be dropped at least 4 days before the first day of camp to be eligible for a credit. Camps dropped less than 4 days before the first day are not eligible for a credit. Full payment for all camps must be made by May 31, 2010. If you pay only a deposit when registering, please be sure to pay the balance by the due date.

CREDITS
Tuition credits are good indefinitely towards any classes, workshops or gallery items and are not redeemable for cash under any circumstances. If Lillstreet Art Center cancels a class, students are eligible for a full refund. Class credits are available for classes dropped due to documented medical reasons.
LOW ENROLLMENT
Lillstreet Art Center does reserve the right to cancel classes due to low enrollment. If a class is cancelled, students are eligible for a full refund. A minimum enrollment of 6 students is usually required for a class to run. Please register early to ensure your preferred class will run.
HOLIDAYS
For classes that fall on holidays, it is up to the individual teachers and students to decide whether to hold the class or to schedule a make up class later in the session.
MISSED CLASSES
Missed classes may only be made up within the same class session.
SKILL LEVELS
Programs are divided into skill levels:
Beginners/Advanced Beginners: Introduction to basic techniques. Classes are designed for the true novice and returning students in need of a refresher or further instruction.
Multilevel: Open to both beginners and experienced students. Classes are designed for students of all skill levels with projects appropriate for each.
Intermediate/Advanced: Development of skill and exploration of theme and content. Classes are designed for students who have completed beginner courses at Lillstreet or have a professional background and are looking for refresher courses, advanced skills and studio time. Students not previously enrolled at Lillstreet should seek the approval of the instructor before enrollment.
TOOLS
Students may be required to purchase a tool kit from Lillstreet or other materials in order to complete class work. Unless otherwise specified, materials will be provided for the first class session and students will receive a supply list for purchase.
OPEN STUDIO
Open studio time is available to all students currently enrolled in classes and usually starts the week after classes begin; please see each department for details. Times of open studio vary by department.
