HTAS Policies & FAQ's
The Haverford Township Adult School Policies
A. COURSE CANCELLATIONS:
The School reserves the right to cancel classes in its sole discretion. The School will seek to notify enrolled students of cancellations in a timely manner by telephone or email. In the event of a class cancellation, the School will refund tuition payments.
B. REFUNDS AND WEB CREDITS:
Refunds will be given by check or returned to credit card only in the event of a canceled class. If you are not satisfied with your course after the first class has met or if you withdraw because of illness, personal emergencies, moving or any other event beyond our control, you will be issued a web credit for a maximum of 50% of the tuition fee. To qualify, you must notify the HTAS office in writing. If you notify the office of withdrawal at least five days prior to the first class, you will qualify for a full refund of your tuition.
All web credits issued before 2020 will expire in June 2024. Web credits issued after June 2023 may be used to register for HTAS classes within four years of the date they are issued. Web credits issued 2020-2023 (pandemic) will expire in June 2026. Web credits may be used by another member of the same household but are not otherwise transferable. If a web credit remains unused at its expiration date, it will be considered as a donation to the HTAS and will no longer be available to be used as a tuition payment. Of course, you may opt to designate a web credit as a tax-deductible donation at any time by advising HTAS in writing of your intention to consider the credit as a donation.
