Registration Policies

Refund and Cancellation Policy:
In the event that you have to cancel your course more than 30 days before your course start date, you will be refunded your course tuition less the $200 non-refundable deposit. If you cancel your course between 29 and 14 days before your course start date, you will be refunded 50% of your course tuition. If you have to cancel your course 13 days or less before your course start date, we will unfortunately be unable to refund any of your course tuition due to unrecoverable costs to prepare for your course.

Transfer Policy:
If you would like to transfer to another course 30 days or more from your original course start date, you will be charged a $50 transfer fee to cover administrative costs. If you transfer to another course 29 days or less from your original course start date, the cancellation and refund policies listed above will apply. We highly recommend getting trip cancellation insurance from Travel Guard to protect your course investment if you have to unexpectedly cancel your course at the last minute or if you miss your flight before your course starts. Once a course starts in the field, it will not be possible to join the course once it is in progress. Please call (800) 826-1300 for more information about trip cancellation insurance.

Waiting List:
If the course you would like to register for is full, we can place you on a waiting list for that particular course on a first come, first serve basis. To get on the waiting list, please mail a refundable $50 Waiting List deposit along with the Registration Information listed above to the Cottonwood Institute mailing address listed above. If a space does not open up in the course you would like to register for, we will gladly refund your deposit in full. If a space does open up on your course, we will contact you to see if you still want the space. If you still want to register for the course, you will need to mail in the remaining $150 for your course registration deposit and the $200 you have paid for the course so far will become a non-refundable deposit. If you switch from the waiting list and become enrolled in a course less than 60 days before your course start date, you will need to mail in the remaining balance of your course tuition before you will be officially enrolled in your course.

If you have any additional questions about the registration process, please feel free to contact the Cottonwood Institute at 303.447.1076 or send us an Email.
