The following policies and procedures apply to class payments and reimbursements.
Tuition rate
- The AFLCR has two tuition rates: one for nonmembers and a discounted rate for members. The tuition rate for a course is based on the student’s membership status at the time he/she registers for the course.
- A nonmember who becomes a member after registering for a course may not receive a partial tuition rebate or credit for a course for which he/she registered.
If the AFLCR cancels a course …
If the AFLCR cancels a scheduled course before the first class meeting, students who registered and paid for the course will receive a full tuition refund.
If a student cancels his/her registration in a course …
- A student who wishes to cancel must notify us in writing, sending it either to education@aflcr.org or to 43 King St., Burlington, VT 05401. State the name of the course and the reason for the cancellation.
- If a student registers for a course but then cancels before the first meeting, a full refund or credit will be offered. If credit is issued, it may be applied to a future AFLCR course for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of the canceled registration.
- If a student registers for a course but cancels the registration on or after the date of the first meeting, no refund or credit will be offered.
- If a student misses classes within a course, no refund or credit will be offered. If a student knows in advance that he/she will miss one or more classes, he/she may make arrangements with the teacher to receive a transcript or recording of the missed class(es), if possible.
- In extenuating circumstances, at the sole discretion of the Director of the French Language Center, a student who cancels a course registration on the date of or after the first meeting of the course may receive a full or prorated tuition refund or a full or prorated credit toward a future AFLCR course.
If a teacher or student cancels a private lesson …
- If a teacher cancels a private lesson, an effort will be made to reschedule the lesson. If it is not possible to reschedule, the student will receive a refund for the missed lesson.
- If a student cancels a private lesson, an effort will also be made to reschedule the lesson. If it is not possible to reschedule, the student will not receive a refund for the missed lesson.
