We do not offer prorated classes. Students are welcome to utilize open studio and follow up with instructors to cover what they may have missed in class!
When will I hear back about a waitlist position?
If a waitlist position opens, you will be notified by the front desk. Your spot will be held for the next 48 hours. Accepted waitlist positions must also have their balance paid in full.
Can't you just squeeze me into a full class?
Unfortunately we are unable to add additional spaces to full classes at Lillstreet. Class limits are set for the benefit of all students and the space we have available at Lillstreet.
Can I just come in and use the studios without signing up for a class?
Please contact the front desk to see if the department you’re interested in is offering any paid open studio.
