CANCELLATION/WITHDRAWAL POLICY

We understand that the industry is unpredictable and our schedules as artists can change quickly. For that reason, if your obligations change and you can no longer participate in a given session after having enrolled, you may request to transfer your tuition payment to a future session, so long as you do so seven or more days before the start of the first class. In order to withdraw, you must email an official request to training@sohoshakes.org as soon as possible. The date and time your email is sent will be considered the official withdrawal date and time in determining transfer eligibility.

​

MAKEUP CLASS POLICY

Make-up sessions in case of illness or severe inclement weather (snowstorms, etc) may be offered to students who give the teacher 24-hours notice and will be subject to availability. Make-ups will be virtual by default and must be fulfilled within the given round of class. Make-up sessions will not be given for lessons canceled with less than 24-hours notice. In the case the teacher has to cancel, a make-up lesson or a substitute teacher will be provided.

​

COVID-19 POLICY

All registrants of any SoHo Shakespeare Company in-person class, training, workshop, coaching, etc. [hereby "classes"], must be vaccinated against COVID-19 and able to provide proof of their vaccination status.  All registrants must also agree to follow the instructor's guidance as to the use of masks in classrooms and common spaces associated with SoHo Shakespeare Company in-person classes.  Should a registrant not be vaccinated, fail to provide proof of vaccination, or fail to follow the instructor's guidance on mask wearing, the registrant will be removed from the class without eligibility for a refund, and will not be considered for future SSC activities.  Online classes do not require vaccination.
