Full payment at the time of initial registration is gratefully appreciated. The Ranch accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, personal checks, bank checks, traveler’s checks, money orders or cash. The balance of tuition, studio fee and housing is due 60 days prior to the start of your first workshop. We will automatically charge the balance to the credit card on file when it comes due, unless you have made other arrangements prior to the due date. If payment in full is not received by the due date, you may risk forfeiting your enrollment and housing space and also incur a cancellation fee. WORKSHOP FEES AND EXPENSES INCLUDE: GENERAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION • We will gladly answer questions over the phone, but Anderson Ranch is unable to accept registration requests by phone during the Early Application period. Registration requests can be submitted by mail, fax, email, on-line or in person. We will contact you to let you know we received your application and to make sure we understand your choices and have correctly assessed your skill level; if you have not heard from us within a week, please contact us to make sure we’ve received your request. • Please read the workshop description carefully before enrolling to ensure that the workshop is appropriate for your skill level. • Anderson Ranch accepts all persons regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or religion. You must be at least 18 years old to attend an adult workshop. • Unacceptable behavior: Anderson Ranch reserves the right to refuse registrations from participants who have a history of disruptive behavior or to dismiss any student (without a refund) who disrupts our learning or living community. ADULT REGISTRATION • Early Application for adults is open until January 22, 2008. If a workshop has more enrollment requests than spaces available by January 22, all requests for that workshop will be entered in a random drawing. If the workshop does go to lottery and your name is not selected for a space in the workshop, you will automatically be added (in the order drawn) to a waiting list. Typically, only one in five workshops goes to lottery. If you’ve applied for a workshop that does not go to lottery and your skill level is appropriate, you will be enrolled in the workshop. • Early Application candidates will be notified of their enrollment or waitlist status by February 19, 2008. These applicants will have until March 3, 2008 to withdraw from any workshops without penalty. • Standard Registration: Applicants whose requests are received after January 22, 2008 will be enrolled or waitlisted (depending on workshop availability) on a first-come, firstserved basis, as long as your skill levels are appropriate. • Registration for adults is confirmed upon receipt of a confirmation packet via US Postal Service. If you applied by January 22, you will receive a packet by February 19, 2008 containing a confirmation of registration for workshop(s) and housing that shows payments made. The Student Handbook, also included, contains important information about housing and check-in procedures, Monday morning orientation, the Café and meals, maps, shipping of supplies, etc. CHILDREN’S REGISTRATION • Children’s Early Application is open until February 29, 2008. If a workshop has more enrollment requests than spaces available by February 29, all requests for that workshop will be entered in a random drawing. If the workshop goes to lottery and your child’s name is not selected for a space in the workshop, he or she will automatically be added (in the order drawn) to a waiting list. • Early Application candidates will be notified of their enrollment or waitlist status by March 21, 2008.

We will mail a Participation Waiver and Release Agreement in early spring; please complete the Waiver form and mail it back to the Ranch prior to the start of the first workshop. Some workshops for older children may also have a supply list of suggested materials or tools to bring to the workshop; those will be mailed with the Waiver form. These supplies represent an additional expense to you. 44 W W W.ANDER SONRANCH.ORG 1-888-353-4710 I N FO @ A N D E R S O N R A N C H . O R G TUITION: To reserve a space in a workshop, a $250 deposit per workshop is required. If the total of tuition and studio fee is less than $250 – as with most children’s workshops - all monies are due at the time of registration. STUDIO FEE: This fee covers general studio maintenance, use of facilities and some materials. Please refer to your supply list for an explanation of what the studio fee covers. REGISTRATION FEE: A one-time fee is charged per student per summer regardless of how many workshops you take. The adult fee is $45 and the children’s fee is $30. This fee is due in full at the time of initial registration, and is non-refundable upon cancellation or withdrawal. HOUSING DEPOSIT: $100 per week of housing reserved. SUPPLY LISTS: We will mail supply lists and post them as part of the course description on our web site at (www.andersonranch.org) at a later date. Anderson Ranch does its best to work with faculty to devise a comprehensive list of supplies, tools, or materials that you may need during the workshop of the workshop. You may be asked to bring more than you will actually use. Anderson Ranch is in a location that makes obtaining tools and supplies difficult once you are here, hence the broad range of materials suggested on the supply list. The acquisition and cost of these items is your responsibility. CANCELLATION POLICIES CANCELLING A SUMMER WORKSHOP To cancel a summer workshop registration and receive a refund, notify us at least 30 days before the start date of your workshop. If we are given the required 30 days’ notice, we will refund your payments less the registration fee ($45 for adults, $30 for children) and the cancellation fee ($100 per adult workshop, $30 per children’s workshop). No refunds will be issued for cancellations made within 30 days of the start of the workshop. CANCELLING A HOUSING RESERVATION To cancel housing and receive a refund, notify us at least 30 days before the start of your reservation. If we are given the required notice, we will refund your payments less a $50 cancellation fee per week reserved. No refunds will be issued for cancellations made within 30 days of the start of the housing reservation. CANCELLING A FIELD EXPEDITION To cancel a field expedition registration and receive a refund, notify Anderson Ranch by the “pay in full” date. If Anderson Ranch is notified by the “pay in full” date, we will refund your payments less the registration fee ($150 per person) and a cancellation fee ($200 per field expedition). No refunds will be issued for cancellations made after the “pay in full” date. TRANSFERS You may transfer from one workshop to another or from one housing option to another, space permitting. To do so, please notify us at least 30 days before the start of your workshop or housing reservation and pay a $25 transfer fee. Registrations are not transferable to another person. WAITING LISTS When a workshop or field expedition fills, we start a waiting list. There is no charge to be on the waiting list. If space becomes available, we contact the first person on the list. That person then has 24 hours to register before we move on to the next person. If a space becomes available within 30 days of the start of a workshop, the registrar may call all those on the waiting list and the space will be given to the first person to register. IF THE RANCH CANCELS A WORKSHOP Occasionally Anderson Ranch must cancel a workshop due to low enrollment, faculty illness or other unforeseen circumstances. We will notify you if a workshop or field expedition for which you have registered has been cancelled. You may then enroll in another workshop or field expedition (based on availability) or receive a full refund of tuition, housing, studio and applicable registration fees. Notification of cancellation will normally occur one month prior to the beginning of the workshop; in rare cases, however, it may be less. Anderson Ranch is not responsible for losses incurred due to off-Ranch housing, travel or other arrangements.
