Janet McMullen- AFIC 2005

For Your Information

When will know if I received my workshop choices?  You will get a notification in 3 to 4 weeks after sending in your registration.   The registrations are filed by postmark; we wait several weeks to process, so that people mailing their registrations from out of country will have the same chance of getting classes. It is possible that the class you want may not have enough students to meet its minimum requirement.  In this case, a class you have been confirmed in could be canceled. We suggest that you not make nonrefundable airline reservations before your confirmation letter in March.

Can I register after the dead line?  Yes but beware! Classes start closing down on March 15, 2009.  Some classes require homework which the teacher may not feel the student has enough time to do, by the time they get the information by mail to the student.  Because of this factor we set a deadline.  Classes start closing down on March 15, 2009. Classes with no homework or little homework may remain open, right up to a few weeks before the convention.  If classes are Full, Canceled or Remain Open it will be posted on the web site next to each class, This is updated daily.

How will I know what to bring to my classes?  Instructions and /or supply lists for the workshops will be sent to you by mail in March. The applications received after March 15, 2009 will be sent along with your confirmation. .  The only exception is very late registration and then we will send everything by email if possible. 

I need to talk to the Instructor can I?   Yes the instructor will contact you by email, phone or mail if homework is applicable in March.  Some classes have no homework, however contact information will be on your supply list.

Can I cancel?  None of us can see the future.  Cancellations are inevitable.  There is a $75.00 non-refundable deposit.  All other funds will be refunded 100% until March 15, 2009. After March 15, 2009 there will be no refunds unless all your reserved class can be filled with another student.  Then you will be refunded everything except the deposit. If a class is canceled and we can not find a replacement class that you wish to take,  the deposit will be refunded.

Return Check fees: There is a $30.00 return check fee charged for any checks that are returned. 

Sewing Machine Can I Rent?  Not this year.

Kit Fees? Kit fees are paid to the instructor in class.  Some instructors ask you to mail a check directly to them.  You will receive information on payment with your supply list.
