Willow Street Class Costs and Class Policies

Winter 2009: 13 weeks - 1/12/09-4/12/09

How to Register

We strongly suggest registering online. Online registration provides you with immediate confirmation that you have secured your spot in class. Student and Senior discounts are redeemable online.

Registration is also accepted in person at our studios, by mail, or by fax (301.270.8045). Phone registrations are not accepted. If you choose to register off-line, you will not receive confirmation. We will only contact you if your first choice is full. No news is good news! Please be sure to provide a second choice on the registration form.

Payment must be made in full at the time of registration. WSYC accepts cash, check, Visa, and MasterCard. NSF checks incur a $35 fee.



Class Registration Costs

2 hour classes $234 ($18 per class)
1.25 & 1.5 hour classes $221
1 hr. classes $195
Teen classes $156
Tweens and Kids classes $143
Itsy-Bitsy $130
*When an individual registers for more than one 1.25-2 hr. class, subsequent classes of the same length are available at $195 each until JAN 18. This "subsequent class reduction" is not applicable to 1 hr. classes.

Tuition Discounts

10% discounts for seniors 65 & older and students with a valid college ID are available for the first four weeks of classes only (ends Feb 8). These discounts are redeemable online. Please bring your college ID to the first class to be checked by your instructor. Only one discount applies.

Receipts

Register online to receive an immediate receipt for classes. Written requests for paper receipts may be submitted to the Registrar during the current session and may take up to 6 weeks to process.

Policies for Kids and Teens

We ask that children under the age of 16 attend classes specifically designed for their age group. Ages 16 and above may attend adult classes. Drop-in's are NOT accepted for FULL children's classes. Please check the online schedule to see if the class is full before dropping in.

Refunds

Refunds are calculated based on the time the cancellation request is received by the Registrar, not the day of the last class was attended. Tuition cannot be carried over to a later session. If you registered online, you can request to drop your class by going to "my registrations" in the online registration system.

All refunds include a built-in administrative fee. Refunds are given according to the following schedule:

  • before and during 1st week of classes = 80% per class
  • during 2nd week = 75% per class
  • during 3rd week = 50% per class
  • during 4th week = 25% per class
No refunds are given after the fourth week. Refunds are always issued by check and may take up to 6 weeks. Please note: Refund policies are firm.

Transfers

Students may transfer classes up until the end of the 4th week of classes. Fill out a transfer form at the front desk, or if you registered online, you may request a transfer online.

Receipts

Online registration generates an automatic receipt for registrations, transfers and refunds. Paper registrations will not receive a receipt unless requested in writing. Please keep your banking records that reflect your proof of payment. Receipt requests can take up to 6 weeks.

Drop-Ins

Drop-in students are accepted (space permitting) most WSYC classes. Please pay drop-in fee directly to the instructor, cash or checks only. Pilates dropins are only accepted up until Oct 12 in Fall Session and Feb 22 in Winter Session, unless you have previous Pilates experience in that class level with a Willow Street Pilates teacher.

Make-ups

The opportunity to make up missed classes is a courtesy extended by WSYC. Missed classes can be made up at either location, any time during the current session at the same class level or below. You may make up in advance of an anticipated absence. There is no need to call in advance, but arrive early and check in with the instructor. Make-ups cannot be transferred to other students, and missed classes cannot be carried over to later sessions. Please note: Parents cannot make up for their child's classes.

Class Cancellations

If classes are cancelled due to inclement weather or an emergency, there will be a cancellation announcement on the Center's voice mail 2 hours before the class is scheduled to begin (301-270-8038). Classes will be held as usual on all holidays unless specifically announced. Cancelled classes will either be rescheduled or you will receive a voucher. WSYC reserves the right to cancel a class for the whole session when the required minimum enrollment is not met. Earliest notification will be given and students may choose a refund, or transfer to another class.

Substitute Teachers

WSYC reserves the right to allow teachers to find appropriate substitute teachers to replace them in a class if needed, due to illness or travel.

Classes and Workshops Start on Time!

Please arrive for your class on time, or better yet, a few minutes early. Late arrivals may be turned away.

Injuries/Physical Limitations

We have a wide range of classes to accommodate people with various physical conditions. Please let your teacher know before class about any physical problems or medical conditions.

Workshop Registration

Online registration is strongly encouraged. Please register early as workshops fill up quickly! Cancellation requests must be received in writing at least 72 hours before the beginning of the workshop to receive a refund less a 20% administrative fee. Please note that some special event workshops have more strict refund policies as noted in the newsletter and online. Late arrivals will not be permittted to enter workshops more than 15 minutes after they begin. No refunds are available for late arrivals who miss their workshop.

What to Bring to Class

Bring yourself with an empty tummy; wear your barefeet and a smile. Tee shirts, tanks, biking shorts, and tights/leggings are great. Avoid wearing baggy pants, as they prevent us from helping you with your knee and leg alignment. Leave your gum, perfume and worries outside the studio. We have changing rooms and all the yoga props you'll need. WSYC is a cell-phone free zone. Please respect our policy and turn yours off. Please be on time for class. Late arrivals may be turned away.
