Class Cancellations

• If HVWC needs to cancel a class, participants have the option of receiving a 100% refund of tuition, or a credit, or reassignment of registration to another class or program.

• If HVWC needs to cancel an individual class session, a make-up session will be scheduled. If a student is unable to attend the make-up class, a credit for the missed session can be issued. Requests for credit must be made to the office in person or by email at least one business day prior to the make-up session.

• A 100% tuition refund or credit will be issued when a student withdraws (via email) from a class no fewer than five business days (Monday-Friday excluding major holidays) before the first day of class. Refunds cannot be issued without least five days’ notice.

• If a student withdraws after the first class, a 75% refund or credit will be issued. Official notification must be made at least 48 hours (Monday-Friday excluding major holidays) before the second class.
