Tuition refunds made by request are available up until five business days prior to the start of the course (this differs from Camp MoCA Refund Policy See Below), any registration fees incurred shall be the responsibility of the registrant upon cancellation.
Pending availability, a make-up class may be granted upon request for the fee of a single class.
Refunds are not available for missed classes due to illness or exposure to an illness – including but not limited to Covid-19.
If a class is canceled by MoCA Westport, we will offer participants an opportunity to reschedule and/ or a credit. There will be no refunds for days canceled due to inclement weather however, where possible, credits will be offered. Camp tuition is refundable 48 hours after registration at which point, tuition becomes 50% refundable, excluding fees and as of June 1st tuition is non-refundable. Camp tuition may be converted into a tax-deductible donation if the participant does not attend camp.
