Refund and Cancellation Policy:
Refund requests must be received 3 business days before the start of the program. Please note that some programs may have earlier deadlines: these will be listed in the course description. The registration fee will be refunded, but with a 10 percent processing fee (up to $10). A refund is issued in the form of a credit on file to be used towards a future class, a check or a credit to the credit card used to register. Less than 3 business days before the program starts, registration fees are not transferrable or refundable. There will be no refund for no-shows.
After Course has Commenced:
As all requirements have been prepared in expectation of your attendance, no refunds are possible. Instructors have no authority to grant or promise refunds. In the event of family emergency or because of inclement weather circumstances, the student can later complete the course by taking the missed classes from the same instructor and notifying the instructor 2 weeks before the course starts. If 60-80 percent of the course is missed because of the family emergency or the inclement weather circumstances, the course can be re-taken from any instructor in that media if space is available.
These policies apply to all registrations in the Botanical Art and Illustration Program. Selected courses have additional cancellation and refund requirements printed with the course description. Denver Botanic Gardens regrets that it cannot make exceptions.
Certificate credit requirements for individual courses:
Attendance is required at the first class for all courses. In order to receive credit, 80 percent of a course must be attended (at least 12 hours of a 15-hour course).
