Summary of Key Policies

Payment Policy

A nonrefundable deposit of $50 is due at the time of registration to hold a spot in one of our classes. How to Pay Only the Deposit at Registration Any balance remaining should be paid by June 21. If you are registering on or after June 30, please pay the full fee at registration.

Registrations after June 21 include a $75 late registration fee.

All workshop fees must be paid before a participant is allowed to take part in our programming. If your school has said it will pay for part or all of the registration fee, please verify payment with your teacher and/or school office before the start of the program.

Participants who owe a balance may pay by cash, money order, cashier’s check or credit card. We reserve the right to decline personal checks after July 1. Payments by credit card can be made at https://mipamsu.org/payment

Bounced checks will be assessed a $30 service fee and the participant will be removed from registration until a credit card payment, money order or cashier’s check for the registration amount plus the service fee has been received.

Refund Policy

Full refunds of workshop fees, less the $50 nonrefundable deposit, will be made if we are notified of a cancellation by July 1. After July 1, refunds of 50% (less nonrefundable deposit) will be made if cancellations are received at least 24 hours prior to check-in. If for some reason you cannot come to the workshop, you may transfer your registration to another person.

There will be no refunds for no-shows or those who do not complete the program for any reason, including any participant who is removed from our program for violating our rules.

If MIPA cancels a workshop course or switches to remote learning prior to the start of the program, participants will have the option to transfer to another course or to receive a full refund.
