Policies
- Classes are scheduled at the discretion of the teacher. Austin Bead Gallery reserves the right to cancel a class for any reason. If we cancel a class, tuition will always be refunded in full.
- Tuition is due in full at the time of registration. Without payment, your seat is not reserved and you will not count towards the required class enrollment
- Classes that do not meet the enrollment minimum of 3 students will be canceled at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled start date at the discretion of the teacher.
- Our classes have a maximum enrollment of 8 students. If a class is full when you register, we will put your name on a waiting list and contact you if any spaces become available.
- For cancellations and audits, the following rules apply:
- If you are a no call/no show for class, you agree that your tuition will be forfeited and you will NOT be given the opportunity to audit.
- If you cancel more than 7 days before the class (prior to the refund cut-off date) you have the option to apply your tuition to a different class.
- If you cancel after the refund date (during the 7 days leading up to class) your tuition is neither refundable nor applicable to a different class, including those taught by the same teacher. However, you are eligible to audit.
- To audit, you are allowed to take that SAME class 1 time, and 1 time only, during the next calendar year. This audit policy will be strictly enforced.
- For students eligible to audit, tuition for missed classes is not applicable towards merchandise.
- Classes will begin promptly at the designated time.
- Supplies must be selected by the student BEFORE class begins.
- We are happy to reserve your supplies if you shop for them on a day other than class day. Once the class date has passed, any reserved merchandise not claimed will be placed back onto the store floor.
- Students arriving more than 20 minutes late will be allowed to join the class at the discretion of the teacher; or, they will be given an opportunity to audit the class.
- We realize sometimes delays happen, but catching up a late student is not always possible.
- Supplies must be selected by the student BEFORE class begins.
- Students will receive a 20% discount on all eligible merchandise on the day of class. Class discounts may not be combined with other discount.
