ART LEAGUE SCHOOL POLICIES - SPRING 2020

STUDENT PARTICIPATION

  • Art League School provides adult studio courses for those who are 17 and older. Students who are younger and wish to attend must have consent by their parent/guardian along with permission by the instructor of the class/workshop.

  • There are no prerequisites for enrollment.

  • Art League School courses are noncredit courses and Art League School does not issue student transcripts.

  • Art League Houston is not able to grant F1 student visas to international students.

  • Due to limited studio space, students must take home their possessions such as class work, materials, and personal items by the end of each course session. If personal items are found, students may inquire about Art League Houston’s limited lost-and-found. Class work and/or materials abandoned in studio spaces are subjected to being discarded by the end of each class meeting. Art League Houston is not liable for lost or stolen items.

REGISTRATION

  • Registration periods are scheduled in three intervals: Pre-Registration, General Registration, and Late Registration.

  • Pre-Registration is open to current Art League School students only.

  • General Registration is open for registration at the full tuition amount. The only applicable discount during General Registration is the Art League Houston members discount promo code.

  • Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Art League Houston is not obliged to hold class seats and is not obliged to open additional seating, unless consent is given by the instructor.

  • Should the course be full, anticipating students can contact us at 713-523-9530 or alberto@artleaguehouston.org and confirm their spot in the course waiting list. While students are able to contact the office for recent updates of class enrollment, Art League School does not guarantee seating for students on the waiting list for the current quarter or future course quarters.

  • If necessary, Art League Houston reserves the right to refuse enrollment to participants with a history of unacceptable behavior.

  • Students registering after the scheduled registration will be charged a non-refundable late registration fee of $15.00.

WITHDRAW AND REFUNDS (Temporarily Amended due to coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak)

  • Students must contact Art League Houston or Director of Education in order to receive refunds or class credits. Drop forms will be filed by staff.

  • Art League School student drop forms must be filled for each course of withdrawal.

  • If you wish to withdraw from your class due to health concerns relating to COVID-19, the deadline to withdraw for the 2020 Spring semester is end of day Wednesday March 18, 2020.

  • If you have the means, please consider helping our organization by foregoing refunds for withdrawing from classes.

  • All refunds are typically subject to a $60 registration and processing fee which covers online processing fee's, as well as operational expenses. We are very sympathetic to people's personal circumstances. We are also extremely aware of our employee's financial dependence on classes being purchased.

    That said, we acknowledge that we are in an unprecedented time with COVID-19 and are willing to temporarily reduce the cancellation fee to $20. Alternatively, ALH will provide tuition credits for future semesters to any students who may feel ill or are uncomfortable with attending class due to COVID-19.

  • Class credits are non-transferable and must be used within one year from date of issue.

  • If there were to be a compulsory city-wide quarantine period due to COVID-19, class credit will be authorized.

  • Membership items are non-refundable.
