Payment Policy

A nonrefundable deposit of $40 is due at the time of registration to hold a spot in one of our classes. How to Pay Only the Deposit at Registration If you are registering after June 10, please pay the full fee at registration.

Registrations after June 10 include a $30 late registration fee. Update: Late fee waived until June 21!

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 adviser 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 will 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

We will give full refunds until July 1, minus the $40 nonrefundable deposit. After July 1, refunds of 50 percent are available if cancellations are received at least 24 hours prior to the first meeting of the course. 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 we cancel a workshop course, participants will have the option to transfer to another course or to receive a full refund.
