Terms and Conditions
**Enrollment in any course at The Fort Collins Digital Workshop (FCDW) requires that you (the Student) have read and will abide by the following terms and conditions.
Pre-requisites
The Fort Collins Digital Workshop does not provide pre-screening or assessments for students. It is the responsibility of each student to evaluate the pre-requisites of each course and ensure that they feel qualified to move beyond each level on their own.
We will not prevent any student from skipping the lower level classes, but we will be glad to offer our advice on which level is best for each student based on their experiences and skill level. We highly recommend that each student begin in the Level 1/Beginner’s classes to build a strong foundation of skills for each course attended. Please call the main office number to discuss course options.
Equal Opportunity Student Eligibility
Anyone over the age of 18 is allowed to enroll for any of our courses. All of our courses are non-accredited. Anyone under the age of 18 wishing to attend a course must provide written consent from a parent or legal guardian before the course date.
The FCDW does not prohibit anyone from attending our courses based on race, gender, color, national origin, disability, or age.
Cancellations / Re-scheduling by Student (PLEASE READ)
Cancellations are allowed according to the following table:
TWO WEEKS OR MORE FROM SCHEDULED COURSE:
If a Student is unable to attend the scheduled course with more than two (2) weeks notice before the scheduled course date, or the Student would like to re-schedule to the next available course date, you must provide written notice via email of your decision to re-schedule.
WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF SCHEDULED COURSE:
Within TWO (2) WEEKS of the course date/time, cancellations by a student are considered a ‘LATE CANCELLATION’ and will be granted but are subject to a $55 cancellation fee per student.
WITHIN TWO DAYS OF SCHEDULED COURSE:
Within TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS or 48 hours of your course date/time, you are NOT able to re-schedule your course.
Emergency exceptions will be made by the Training Director on a case by case basis only.
Why is there a cancellation fee? Why can’t I re-schedule within 48 hours? Our courses are subject to run based on the minimum number of students for a given class. If the FCDW needs to cancel or re-schedule the class, we need at least 48 hours notice so we can alert the other students, instructor, and administrative personnel. We also strive to provide an interactive classroom experience, and we can not do this if there is not a minimum number of students to do so due to late or last-minute cancellations.
This policy is in effect as of December 1, 2011.
Refunds
In accordance with the aforementioned Cancellation Policy, refunds are given in full with two or more weeks notice of your scheduled course.
Within two (2) weeks time of your scheduled course, a refund minus a LATE CANCELLATION fee of $55 per student will be given. Written notice must be given of an Student’s request for a refund and/or cancellation by email.
If a Student drops a class within two (2) business days (48 hours) of your scheduled course start date, NO refund will be provided. Emergency exceptions will be made by the Training Director on a case by case basis only.
This policy is in effect as of December 1, 2011.
Re-take eligibility
A student has the option for one (1) free “re-take” of the same course (when indicated) taken at the Fort Collins Digital Workshop. This re-take registration is non-transferable, and no textbooks are provided (students are asked to bring their original textbooks with them to the re-take course).
A re-take is available only for students who have attended the originally scheduled course. If you do not attend your scheduled course, you are not eligible for a re-take.
Why can’t I use my re-take if I missed the class? The re-take benefit of the FCDW courses is intended for people to brush up on their skills after they learn the material in class. It is not to be used as a fallback in case a Student’s schedule conflicts. As mentioned above, to provide the best classroom experience, we do not want registered students to skip the class. Emergency exceptions will be made by the Training Director on a case by case basis only.
Cancellations / Re-scheduling by The FCDW
If course enrollment at the Fort Collins Digital Workshop does not meet our minimum requirement of students, the course may be cancelled or re-scheduled. Participants will be notified prior to the start of scheduled course, typically with 48 hours notice.
Following our goals of limiting the number of cancellations and/or re-schedules, students may be notified as late as the day of the course of a scheduled course. In the event of a FCDW cancellation, a full refund will be available or the paid balance may be applied towards another upcoming course at the Fort Collins Digital Workshop. We never want to cancel a course, but, unfortunately, it does happen.
