Registration & Cancellation Policy
- Register online (card only), call 712-279-6272, or stop in at Visitor Services to pay in person. Full payment must be included. After registration, you will receive a confirmation notice via email. All registrations close TWO DAYS before the start of each class.
- Class sizes are limited, and enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. Unfortunately, the Gilchrist Learning Center is unable to prorate students for missed classes or classes that they are unable to attend. The Gilchrist Learning Center strives to provide the highest quality art classes with various media for all ages. We value your feedback. If you would like to share your experience or have questions or concerns, please email us at artcentereducation@sioux-city.org.
- Inclement weather: At times, due to weather, it may be necessary to cancel a class. If classes are cancelled due to hazardous weather conditions, a makeup class will be scheduled.
- The Gilchrist Learning Center course cancellation policy: Occasionally, the Gilchrist Learning Center may find it necessary to cancel a course or workshop due to low enrollment or other scheduling conflicts. If this occurs, registered students will be contacted and allowed to transfer to another class or be refunded the full course tuition and any additional fees.
- Student cancellation policy: Students will receive a 75% refund of tuition if a request to withdraw is received by the Gilchrist Learning Center Education Department no later than 7 days prior to the first day of the course. A request to withdraw from a class or workshop less than 7 days before the start date will not be eligible for tuition refunds. If you register for a class or workshop last minute (within 1 week of the class), this cancellation policy still applies.
- Please email your request to withdraw to: artcentereducation@sioux-city.org. You may also call and request to withdraw at 712-279-6580.
- Registration agreement statement: I understand and agree that when I register, I have obligated myself to pay for the class or workshop and all other charges related to this registration. If registering by bank card, I authorize the Sioux City Art Center to charge my account the amount noted. If I decide to cancel my registration, I understand that the date I officially withdraw will determine the amount of refund, if any, I will receive.
