Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, begining on the day stated on the website and print materials. A registration fee and deposit (for workshops) is due upon registration. Students will receive a registration confirmation letter by mail or email within two (2) weeks after they register. Early registration is encouraged, as many workshops/classes fill quickly. Workshops with insufficient enrollment may be cancelled so it is important to register early.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and personal checks. Checks must be received in office 30 days prior to the class beginning date.

WAITING LISTS
When a workshop or class is full, interested students may sign up on the waiting list. No registration fee or deposit is required to be on the waiting list. Students are notified of openings in the order they sign up on the waiting list. When students are notified of openings, they must pay the registration fee and tuition, or they will lose their place on the list.
COSTS
Tuitions vary based on workshop/class costs, and include still life props and plein air site fees, but not model fees. There will be a fee added to programs that require a professional model.
A $100 non-refundable deposit is due upon registration for all workshops.
A $20 non-refundable registration fee is due at the time of registration for all workshops. Each student will pay the $20 fee only once for the current workshop schedule, regardless of the number of workshops taken.
Students enrolled in workshops will be sent an invoice approximately forty-five (45) days before the workshop as a reminder that the balance must be paid. The balance payment is due no later than thirty (30) days prior to the first day of the workshop. At that time, the student’s credit card will automatically be charged the balance due unless the student makes other payment arrangements (e.g. mails a check, or provides an alternate credit card number). Students registering online must call the School prior to the payment due date to provide a credit card with which to charge the final payment. Note: All cancellations must be in writing. See below.
REFUND POLICIES
Cancellation Policy
All cancellations must be made in writing. There are no exceptions. You may mail a letter or send an email (info@theriversretreat.com) to cancel your spot in a workshop. Cancellations are never accepted over the phone.
WORKSHOPS
If you cancel more than thirty (30) days before the first day of the workshop, The Rivers Retreat Center will retain your $100 deposit and $20 registration fee. You will receive a refund of any additional tuition you have paid for that workshop.
If you cancel twenty-nine (29) days or less before the start of a workshop, you will forfeit your entire tuition for that workshop. You will not get a refund. However, a friend or family member may attend the workshop in your place, or you may donate your spot as a scholarship to a financial need student.
Transfer Policy: Workshops
For transfers made thirty (30) days or more before the first day of a workshop, students will be charged a transfer fee of $50.
No transfers are allowed less than thirty (30) days before the first day of a workshop.
PLEASE NOTE: The Rivers Retreat Center is not responsible for providing make-ups or issuing refunds, credits or transfers for days or entire workshops/classes missed as a result of illness, emergencies or other events beyond the School’s control. Students will receive a full tuition refund only in the event that The Rivers Retreat Center cancels the workshop. The Rivers Retreat Center strongly urges all out-of-town students to buy refundable airline tickets in case of workshop cancellations or other unforeseen changes.
These policies will be strictly enforced. Call the The Rivers prior to registering if you have any questions regarding cancellation, transfer and refund policies.
