​

Late registrations to a class already in progress may be allowed if there is sufficient room (and with the instructor's permission). Note that HCA does not pro-rate program fees for students who join a session that is already in progress. ​

​

No refunds or credits will be given for student absences for any group class, private lesson, or workshop. No make-up classes are provided for student absences in group classes. 

In the event of inclement weather, the HCA will announce cancellations in two phases: An announcement on the homepage will be made to cancel morning classes by early morning.  A announcement about afternoon and evening class cancellations will be made by 12 noon.

If possible, one class cancellation, due to weather, will be made up at the end of term. Additional class cancellations due to weather will be considered acts of nature and will not be made up. Weather cancellations will not be refunded.

The Hopkinton Center for the Arts will attempt to provide one make-up class if the canceled class day is instructor or weather related, and if enrollment and schedules allow. 

The Hopkinton Center for the Arts reserves the right to cancel any class or workshop due to insufficient enrollment up to 2 business days prior to the scheduled start date of an offering.  When a course or workshop is canceled by the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, a full refund will be issued.

Students are occasionally photographed or filmed during classes for promotional purposes. Names are not used. By enrolling yourself or your child in a HCA class, you grant permission for you and/or your child to be photographed or filmed for this purpose. You must notify the HCA office in writing regarding any restrictions.

Please be advised that the HCA does not provide supervision for students outside of their scheduled class or program.

​

Please Notify the HCA or instructor if the parent/guardian is going to be late, or if the child will not be coming to class. There is a charge for late pick-ups of $10 for every 15 minutes. Late fees must be paid prior to the start of the next class date.
