If finding your replacement is successful, you will only owe a $150 paperwork transfer fee (this covers our work and any paypal fees that are non-refundable). Submission onto, and ACCESS TO the wait list will completely close 12 weeks before class or sooner under some circumstances. If we find that certain groups in the IMC no longer have enough people on the list to justify keeping it open we will close the list.

If they enroll fully we can refund all of your tuition minus the $150 paypal fees and paperwork transfer fee.
