Workshop Payment To Cancel a Summer Workshop A deposit is required to reserve space in a workshop and in Ranch-provided housing. The Ranch accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, personal checks, bank checks, traveler’s checks, money orders and 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. Thus, we strongly discourage the use of debit cards for deposits. We are not responsible for penalties if an account is overdrawn when the balance is charged. If payment in full is not received by the due date, you risk forfeiting your enrollment and housing space and may also incur a cancellation fee. 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 ($55 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. We are required to process refunds in the same manner in which payment was received; i.e., if payment was made by check, then we would issue a refund by check or, if payment was made by credit card, then a credit would be issued to the same card. It is our policy to send documentation of the refund for your records. Workshop Fees and Expenses Include: To Cancel a Housing Reservation TUITION: To reserve a space in a workshop, a $300 deposit per workshop is required. If the total of tuition and studio fee is less than $300—as with halfday 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 registration fee is charged per student per summer regardless of the number of workshops taken. The fee for adults is $55 and the fee for children and teen classes 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 a link to them with each course description on our web site 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. You may be asked to bring more than you will actually use. The acquisition and cost of these items are your responsibility. Anderson Ranch has an art supply store that carries a nice selection of many art making tools and materials, and offers a 10% discount on preorders. Please contact the staff at the front desk for more information about the ArtWorks store. It is also possible to order supplies from other merchants and have them shipped directly to the Ranch. Otherwise, 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. Adult workshop pricing Throughout the Workshop Catalog you will notice a “Tuition Price” and a “Tuition + Studio Support Donation.” Via our fundraising efforts, the Ranch underwrites costs, an average of $200 per week for each adult student. Many have asked to know this subsidized amount of the workshops they attend and have offered to pay this extra amount. In response, we provide students with a choice when signing up for a class. You will find two prices listed for each class and the option to pay “Tuition Price” or “Tuition plus Studio Support Donation.” You can choose either option. The difference between the “Tuition Price” and the “Tuition plus Studio Support Donation” is a tax-deductible donation to the Ranch. In advance, many thanks for your support! Cancellation Policies 68  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. To Cancel a Field Exp
