Online Class Registration Policies

Visit the individual course description page.
If a class is currently open for registration, there will be a button on the page labeled Register Now.
Click the Register Now button to proceed with the registration process through our registration portal: Active Networks.
Unless otherwise specified, students may register for a class up until the start time, as long as there is still space in the class and the link is available online.
If the class is not available, please sign up for our newsletter and/or follow us on Instagram to receive updates on new offerings.

Payments are by credit/debit card in our registration portal.
Payment plans are available for classes over $300. A 50% deposit is due upon registration. The remaining balance is automatically charged to the card on file approximately 10 days before the class starts.
If a payment plan is available, the option will be given at checkout.
Upon receipt of payment and registration, a confirmation receipt will be emailed.
A late fee of $50/per week may be charged to the student if payments are not made by the installment deadline.
Failure to pay tuition on time can result in suspension from GCA programs until the full balance is paid.
Tuition is listed in USD on our website. To convert the amount to your own currency, we recommend using a currency converter.

If an online class is full, there will be an option to be added to a waitlist.
If spots in the class become available, the waitlist will be emailed, first come first served.
An empty spot only occurs if someone cancels, so it’s hard to predict if and when a spot may come available.

On any account more than 90 days late, GCA reserves the right to demand the unpaid balance and fees due and refer the account to a collection agency.
Students forfeit the right to take additional classes and/or workshops at GCA until the balance and fees are paid in full with accompanying late fees.

In case of individual classes canceled during a session, GCA will send out email notification and schedule a make-up.
We will only offer credits or refunds if we are not able to schedule a makeup.
Unfortunately, we occasionally have to cancel a class due to low enrollment. Students in these classes will be emailed in advance of any cancellations and provided a full refund or the option to transfer into another open class.
GCA reserves the right to substitute instructors either before or during the session for an online class.

To cancel or transfer to a different class, students must fill out the online class cancellation request form available by clicking here.
If GCA cancels an online class, student will receive 100% refund.
If a student cancels more than seven days before the start: refund to the credit card paid minus $50 cancellation fee per class cancellation request.
If a student cancels seven days or fewer before the start date: there is no refund or credit.
There are no refunds or credits given after a class has started.
No refunds or credits are given for student absences during the course of the class or any scheduled make-ups.
There are no make-ups for student absences from class dates.
Any other refunds or credits are at the discretion of the Administration.

If a student wishes to transfer to a different online class at least seven days before the start of the original class, no fee will be charged for a one-time transfer. Any additional transfer requests a week before the class starts will be charged a $25/fee.
There are no transfers seven days or fewer before the original class start date.
There are no transfers after a class has begun.
