School Policies

Photography :

Sharon Arts reserves the right to photograph any classes, students, events, and art for promotional use including but not limited to print, web, social media, and advertising. If you wish not to be photographed, please notify the school office in writing.

Accessibility :

The Art Center School of Art & Craft is fully handicap accessible and equipped with an elevator.

Cell Phones:

Out of consideration for the instructor and fellow students, we ask that cell phones be turned off or switched to “silent/
vibrate” mode during class.

Studio Safety :

Sharon Arts is committed to making the studio programs as safe as possible. Students and faculty are urged to
familiarize themselves with possible health hazards in the areas in which they are working.

Tuition Enrollment & Cancellation Policy :

Students are considered registered when tuition has been received in full. Students mailing checks may hold their spot with a credit card. If a check is not received within 7 business days, tuition will be charged to card on file. SAC reserves the right to cancel an incomplete registration, after attempts are made to contact the student. Registrations made within a week of class must be paid for in full at time of registration. A minimum enrollment is required for all classes to run. If a class is full, students will be wait-listed and notified if space becomes available, completing registration. If a class is canceled due to low enrollment, students will be given 1 week’s notice; they will be able to transfer registration to another offering, or can receive a full tuition refund (2–3 weeks for processing). Memberships and materials purchased at the time of registration are non-refundable.You will receive a confirmation and supply list before class, via e-mail or mail.

Withdrawals & Refunds :

Sharon Arts cares about your experience with us. If at any time you are unsatisfied with an educational offering, you are encouraged to speak with our registrar or Director of Education to explore other options. Students can receive a refund in the form of a check (less a $20 processing fee) for withdrawals made a minimum of two weeks (10 business days) prior to start of class. After that time, no tuition vouchers or refunds will be issued unless documentation of a medical emergency is presented to the Director of Education (see withdrawal instruction below). There are no refunds or credits for missing a regular class or workshop. These policies are strictly enforced to maintain our contractual commitments to our instructors. Formal notification of withdrawal must be made in writing or in person to our registrar (register@sharonarts.org) or School Director (alexandra@sharonarts.org) in order to be processed. Verbal notification to the instructor, or failure to attend, are not regarded as official notice of withdrawal.
