If a student is unable to attend a class period for any reason, the Art Center is not responsible for providing any make-up. Not attending class does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal from courses or cancellation of tuition or fees. MISSED CLASSES A make-up week is scheduled at the end of each term in the event a class session is cancelled by the EAC or the instructor. Make-up week is considered part of the term, and no refunds will be given for unattended scheduled classes during this week. There are no refunds, credits or make-ups for any other class sessions that were held as scheduled and missed by the student (student “no-show”). CLASS / WORKSHOP SUPPLY LISTS Those registering by mail, telephone or in person will receive a full or partial supply list along with the confirmation of enrollment, when a supply list is available. Online registrants should check the class course description on our website for supply list availability. EVANSTON ART CENTER CLOSINGS Classes will not be held on major national holidays or during extremely inclement weather. Generally, the Art Center follows the decisions of the District #65 public schools regarding weather related school closings. Classes falling on these days will be made up at the end of the term and will be coordinated between the faculty member and each class. Only the administration may cancel classes in case of inclement weather. Please check emergencyclosings.com. FEES Fees are noted in the course description in this catalog. Evanston residents pay a lower fee because their tax dollars directly support the Evanston Art Center. POLICY CHANGES The administration reserves the right to alter policies pertaining to courses, fees, and other notices in this catalog from time to time as deemed necessary for the proper functioning of the Art Center. All such policy changes will be approved by the Board of Trustees before action is taken. The administration also reserves the right to cancel classes and alter scheduling or staffing when circumstances warrant. CODE OF CONDUCT In order to provide students, members, visitors and staff with a safe and supportive educational environment, the Evanston Art Center has adopted a Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct is printed on the reverse of your enrollment confirmation. Copies of the Code of Conduct are also available through the EAC Registrar or Director of Education. The Art Center reserves the right to refuse to retain any student in any course at any time without incurring obligations. STUDIO TIME Several departments offer studio time to current students who would like additional time to work in the EAC studios outside of class time. Studio time schedules are worked out at the beginning of each term. Studio time is included in class tuition for Ceramics and Printmaking students. Studio time is available to Figure Sculpture, Jewelry and Metal Sculpture students for an additional fee. Students in these departments may sign up for studio time at any point during term. YOUTH ARTS LATE PICK-UP FEES Parents are responsible for picking their children up on time. The EAC cannot be responsible for students brought early or picked up late. A fee of $10 per every five minutes will be assessed by credit card or by invoice. PERMISSION TO PHOTOGRAPH The Art Center retains the right to photograph any class, work, student or event and reproduce the images at its discretion without incurring obligations. 17 02690-Job.indd 17 11/12/14 8:39 AM THANK YOU TO OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN DONORS $500,000 TO $750,000 Anonymous Col.
