There is no deadline for application. However, many of the workshops fill immediately so, to avoid disappointment, prompt application is advisable.

Your participation for the entire workshop session is extremely important. If your schedule requires you to arrive after the start, or to leave prior to the end of the workshop, please make other arrangements or plan to participate at another time.

ACCEPTANCE
We receive many applications concurrently, and they are evaluated for enrollment based on the information submitted. Attention is given to the information furnished in the "Background Information" portion of the application. Please give thought to the information you provide in this section. Upon enrollment in a workshop, you will receive a letter providing detailed information and suggestions for preparing for the workshop.

Those applicants who were on the waiting list last year will be given priority for that workshop this year, but we cannot guarantee enrollment. Please return your application promptly.

If you receive one brochure and two or more wish to apply, please copy the application form and send one completed, signed application form for each participant. Consideration is given to the individual participant's application.

International participants: Although we do reserve some spaces to accommodate the usual delays in overseas mail service, we strongly encourage you to return your application immediately, as these spaces cannot be indefinitely held if the workshop is filling.

If the workshop is already full when your application is received, we will offer the opportunity to enroll in any other workshop still open, or to be placed on the waiting list and your entire deposit will be returned to you. It is advisable to list alternate workshop dates on your application form if possible.

DEPOSIT & PAYMENTS

The balance of the fee for each workshop is due no later than 30 days prior to the first day of the workshop. If you fail to pay your balance 30 days prior to the first day of the workshop, your space in the workshop and your entire deposit will be forfeited, and your place will be filled from the waiting list.

If you withdraw within the period 30 to 14 days prior to the first day of your workshop, the entire deposit of $150 will be retained.

No refunds of any kind will be made for withdrawal within 14 days in advance of the first day of the workshop, during the workshop, or for no-shows.
