Refund Policy

All requests for refunds must be made in writing (email accepted).

Refund of fees will only be given if requested at least 72-hours before the first scheduled class meeting.  There is a $25 service fee for cancelations.  No refunds will be granted after the class start date.  A complete refund (no processing fee) will always be made if AAE cancels a class.  Please choose your classes carefully.

Extenuating Circumstances Refund Policy due to Unforeseen Events (i.e. pandemic) and/or Natural Disaster:

Due to the fluid nature of unforeseen events (i.e. pandemic) and/or natural disasters, an extenuating circumstances refund policy may apply for course fee refunds.

• Class Canceled: Automatic refunds (no processing fee) will be processed by AAE if a class is canceled due to an unforeseen event and/or natural disaster.
• Class Postponements: If a class is postponed due to an unforeseen event and/or natural disaster, and you are unable to attend the postponed class as scheduled, a full refund (no processing fee) will be granted provided Guests notify the AAE office within 72-hours of the class postponement announcement.

Class Instructional Platform Change

If the class instructional platform is changed due to an unforeseen event and/or natural disaster (i.e. face-to-face changed to online/distance learning, etc.) and a Guest has already attended the initial class instruction, but now wishes to cancel the class due to the change of instructional platform, a prorated refund will be issued and a $25 service fee will be applied.
