Registration fees are billed once yearly per family and covers all members of the household in any Guild classes with which they participate.

Class tuition is due by the 10th day of each month. Late tuition will result in a $10 charge. Fall tuition consists of monthly tuition due for August through May. Workshops are billed out by session. Enrollment in any class or workshop must be paid for at the time of registration along with a registration fee. Once a student is enrolled in a class/workshop they are enrolled until the end of the session or until a withdrawal is completed.
