Class Policies

Courses

Courses at the Island Arts Academy are kept small intentionally, and most have a minimum and maximum size. Please register early to reserve your place in the course(s) and workshop(s) in which you wish to participate.

Courses/workshops with insufficient enrollment by 7 days prior to the starting date may be cancelled. Within 7 days of the starting date, please call or email the Academy Dean to see if space is still available in the course(s) in which you are interested.

Registration

Registration is required for some classes, in particular for youth classes. If a registration form is required, you will be presented with the registration form to complete when you purchase the class online.

Island Arts Academy will maintain a waiting list for those courses which are filled to capacity. Individuals on the waiting list will be notified if space becomes available.

Cancellation

If the Academy cancels a course, registered students will be notified and receive a refund for that course. If you must cancel your participation in a course for any reason, as long as you do so at least 7 days before the class, you will receive a refund less a 20% cancellation fee to cover administrative costs. If you cancel less than 7 days before the course begins, no refund will be issued. To withdraw from the class, email the Academy Dean or call 802-372-5363. Your cancellation will not be completed until you receive an email acknowledgement of your request.

Financial Aid

Limited financial aid may be available to permanent Grand Isle County youth on a first come, first served basis. If you are applying for financial aid, your registration and application must be received at least 30 days before the class date. Contact the Academy Dean for more information.
