Refund & Tuition Credit Policy

  • No Refunds: All tuition payments — monthly or annual — are final and non-refundable once paid. (See tuition credit information below)

  • Monthly Enrollment Minimum: Monthly enrollment requires a 3-month minimum commitment, charged in full upfront at the time of enrollment. This upfront payment is non-refundable. Month-to-month billing begins after the third paid month, and students may cancel at any time thereafter, with future payments non-refundable once charged.

  • Tuition Credit for Unused, Prepaid Tuition: If a student withdraws before completing their mentorship, any unused, prepaid tuition may be credited toward:

    • Aristides Private Mentorship program within one calendar year. We will make every effort to pair students with their original mentor, but this may not always be possible.

    • A comparable Terracotta offering (contact hello@terracotta.art to inquire)

Curriculum Access

  • Curriculum access is available only while the mentorship is active.

  • Extended Access:

    • Students will have three (3) months of extended access to course materials after completing the full curriculum (typically completed in 9 months, though pacing may vary by student).

    • Upon completion of a full curriculum and the 3 months of extended access, a further extension for one full calendar year is available for a fee.

This policy aims to ensure that students receive the full value of their tuition while maintaining the integrity of our small, dedicated learning community.
