Participating students and teachers should check first with their adviser or school system specialist to confirm necessary hours for credit. Upon request, those participating will receive a letter of completion from the program director.
- The Visual Arts Center reserves the right to dismiss any student, with refund, for behavior that is disruptive to the learning environment.

Cancellations and Refunds

- No refunds will be made if withdrawal notice is received less than seven days prior to the first class meeting.

- The VACR may on occasion need to substitute an instructor for a course. This is done with the recommendation of the scheduled instructor and does not diminish the quality of instruction.
