Tuition and Refund Policy

Tuition rate:

  • AFUDME has two tuition rates: one for nonmembers and a discounted rate for members. The tuition rate for a course is based on the student’s membership status at the time he/she registers for the course.
  • A nonmember who becomes a member after registering for a course may not receive a partial tuition rebate or credit for a course for which he/she registered.

If AFDUME cancels a course:

If AFDUME cancels a scheduled course before the first class meeting, students who registered and paid for the course will receive a full tuition refund.

If a student cancels their registration:

  • A student who wishes to cancel must notify us in writing, by sending an email to afdume@gmail.com. Please include the name of the course and the reason for the cancellation.
  • If a student registers for a course but then cancels before the first meeting, a full refund or credit will be offered. The credit can be transferred to another person if desired. If a credit is issued, it may be applied to a future AFDUME course for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of the canceled registration.
  • If a student registers for a course but cancels the registration on or after the date of the first meeting, no refund or credit will be offered.
  • If a student misses classes within a course, no refund or credit will be offered. If a student knows in advance that he/she will miss one or more classes, he/she may make arrangements with the teacher to receive a transcript or recording of the missed class(es), if possible.
