Once a deposit is transferred, it is non-refundable; it must be used for a class.

- Requested prior to 11 business days before the class: 1/2 of deposit transferred.

Class Cancelation and Date-Change Policies Policy:
Airline tickets should not be purchased earlier than 3 months before a class date. Occasionally, low registration or other circumstances may force a cancellation or re-scheduling even closer than 3 months. In such situations, all payments can be refunded less a 5% non-refundable registration fee, but the student is responsible for the costs of canceled or re-booked travel arrangements and for any other costs incurred. If some kind of emergency forces the teacher to leave in the middle of the class, the teacher will try to find another Vortex teacher to take their spot. If this is not possible, then tuition payments will be refunded but students will still be responsible for other costs incurred.
In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
