Course Cancellation:
The Essex Art Center reserves the right to cancel classes with a full refund due to insufficient enrollment to run a class.

Course Withdrawal & Refund:
Full refunds are given for classes withdrawn from 14 or more calendar days before the first class, less $10 processing fee. 50% tuition refund (less $10) 7 days prior to the first class meeting. The Essex Art Center will retain $10 processing fee on all registrations if a cancellation may occur. Sorry, no tuition refunds after the course has started.

In the event of inclement weather, classes will be cancelled only if Lawrence Public Schools are closed. Class cancellations due to weather will not be made up. For weekend workshop, please call the office.
