Mudflat Refund Policy

Last-minute cancellations can be difficult to fill. Please double-check your schedule before committing to a class or workshop. If you cancel at least two weeks before the semester, session, or workshop begins, tuition is refundable minus both the service fee paid by the registrant and the processing fee paid by Mudflat. 

​

If you need to cancel within the two-week window due to your own illness or injury, or another emergency, please contact us by email before the start date. We will issue a refund minus the service/processing fee and a 10% administrative fee based on the total tuition paid. If you cancel within the two-week window for any other reason, tuition is non-refundable. No refunds, credits, or transfers will be issued for missed classes or workshop dates. Registrations made within two weeks of the start date are subject to the non-refundable terms above. 

​

In the event of inclement weather or an unexpected studio closure, we will schedule a makeup date. In the rare instance that an advertised instructor is unable to teach, we reserve the right to substitute a different, similarly skilled teacher. If a class is cancelled due to underenrollment, you will receive notice at least 3 days before the first session/workshop and you will receive a full refund.

​

Additional terms by class format: 

For 14-week semester classes:If you need to withdraw after the class has begun due to a documented illness or injury to the student, a prorated refund may be issued. Family emergencies, family illnesses, travel or scheduling conflicts do not fall under the circumstances to warrant a class refund.
