Payment Terms and Conditions

To confirm your registration for any WWf(a)C program, payment in full is required by the due date. For classes, camps, and workshops, the due date is normally the same as the “registration closes” date on the class registration page (3–5 days before the class begins).

Due dates for Retreat payments will vary, depending on the venue’s policies, and a deposit may be required; please see the Payment Policy on the registration page for your retreat.

If your payment has not been received by the due date, you may not be able to participate in the program; if there is a waiting list, your place in the program will be offered to someone else.

If you don’t pay by credit card at checkout, or if you pay a deposit only (for a retreat), we’ll invoice you for the balance due at the email address you used to register. Payment in full is required by the due date on the invoice. The invoice will include a link to pay online, by card or Paypal. If you pay by check, please allow 14 days for delivery and processing.

If you need tuition assistance and/or a payment plan, please visit our Tuition Assistance page to apply. The application deadline is two weeks before the class begins.

If we need to cancel a program or session for any reason, your facilitator will contact you to make arrangements. We will either reschedule or offer a refund for the cancelled class, at our discretion.

If you withdraw from a program (by notifying your facilitator or the Registrar) at least 24 hours before the class begins, we will contact to and arrange a refund; please allow 2 weeks for refund processing. If you notify us later, or just don’t show up, no refund will be made. We do not offer refunds for missed classes or withdrawals after the first session in a series or package. Note that tuition for longer series and camps includes a $50 non-refundable registration fee, and retreat deposits are non-refundable.
