Financial Aid
The Guilford Art Center offers financial aid for adults and children enrolling in classes at GAC. Financial Aid is based on need and interest. Selection is made by the Scholarship Committee. Forms are available at the GAC office and must be returned no later than ten days before the beginning of classes/term: June 13, 2008. The Guilford Art Center generally offers partial scholarships to enable as many students as possible to participate in our programs. A tuition deposit is required with all scholarship applications. College Financial Aid is available in modest amounts to college students majoring in fine arts or crafts. Applicants for 2009 must be residents of Connecticut. Requests for financial aid will be considered for no more than two semesters per year. Priority is given to members.

Holiday Closings
The Guilford Art Center is closed on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Cancellation/ Refund Policy
If a program is oversubscribed when a student's payment is received, the student will be notified and the full amount will be refunded or may be applied toward another course.

If a class or workshop is canceled due to insufficient enrollment, students will be notified and full tuition will be refunded or may be applied toward another course.

Students who withdraw from a class or workshop up to two weeks before the first class are eligible for a full refund. Up to one week before the first class, students who withdraw are eligible for a credit, less a $25 registration fee. After that time, no consideration will be given without a written medical excuse. Credits may only be for classes going forward from the date excuse is received by GAC.

Students missing a regularly scheduled class will not receive a refund or a makeup class.

Classes not held due to bad weather or instructor's absence will be rescheduled. Call 203.453.5947 X16 for weather cancellations.

GAC reserves the right to change its calendar, withdraw or modify course of instruction or substitute instructors at anytime.

Publicity
GAC periodically documents classes and workshops through still photography and video for publicity purposes. These images are used for the course brochure, our website, advertisements, articles and other publicity materials for the benefit of the Center. Registration in a course at GAC includes permission to photograph you and/or your artwork and to use your image in its publicity materials unless you inform the photographer that you do not wish to have your photograph taken. If you do not want to allow GAC to photograph your child for publicity purposes, please notify us at the time of registration.
