ceptable reasons) before the third week of the semester, the refund will be prorated. Students withdrawing after the 2nd week of the semester are financially responsible for the full semester fee. We expect students to notify us if they are not returning to class. Their lack of participation may affect the ability of the class to meet the class objectives. Accommodations may need to be made to the class based on the changing size of the class. Arts For All, Inc. reserves the right to cancel a class or workshop due to insufficient enrollment and to discontinue lessons/classes for any student who falls behind in payment. Returned Checks There is a $15 charge if your check is returned for insufficient funds. Absences We do our best to provide substitutes when a teacher is absent. If a site is closed/classes cancelled because of weather, the first and second days missed will be made up; this will therefore, extend the semester. Students are financially responsible for classes they are unable to attend. If students know they will be absent, occasionally arrangements can be made for the student to attend another class on a different day to make up for the absence. If this is not possible and a student plans to be absent, please contact the AFA office at 402-556-7821 or on our contact page as soon as possible. Class Cancellations Classes may be cancelled due to snow, ice, below zero temperatures, tornados or storms. During the school week, if Omaha area schools are closed at the beginning of the school day because of weather, our classes will be closed. If schools are closed at the beginning of the school day because of frigid temperatures, we will be open. The reason being, by the end of the day, temperatures will be warmer and students will be driven to our class sites. For Saturday classes, if the weather and roads are bad, the site may be closed. We will make every attempt on Saturday to contact you. This is one of the reasons we need an up-to-date phone number and email address. If classes are closed, there will be an announcement on the AFA telephone 402-556-7821. If we are able to reach the TV stations in time, cancellation announcements will be sh
