After we receive your application, you may be contacted to arrange for an interview. Once you have been interviewed, we will inform you if you have been accepted into the program. Applicants are accepted on a rolling basis. If you are accepted, there is a $200 non-refundable deposit due within 14 days of your acceptance. The deposit is counted toward your tuition. Tuition: $2200, $1800 if accepted before December 1st and paid in full by December 15th!!! Please keep in mind that there are additional expenses that will arise, including books, jars, alcohol, and some field trip expenses.
Payment Options: We appreciate the full tuition in advance; however, for individuals who need it, we will accept half of the tuition, $1100, with the balance to be paid in four installments of $275 through the year.
Things to consider when applying: Can you commit to the entire program, both sessions? Once the program has started, the tuition is not refundable. The field trips include hiking and can last all day. Rain is persistent here in the Pacific NW. Are you physically able to hike for several hours, and are you willing to hike in inclement weather?
Work Study: We are offering two Work Study positions for the 2008 term. Inquire for more details.
Refund Policy: You will be refunded in full (less the $200 non-refundable deposit) if you notify us before January 21st. After that, we will give you a refund only if we can find a replacement from our waiting list. Once classes begin there will be no refunds.
