Student and Parent further understand and agree that, in order to offset costs incurred by the Youth Interior Design Forum once it has received the Student’s Enrollment Application, a full refund may only be requested if cancellation is made at least 15 days prior to the start date.
Students who are dismissed from the Forum for disciplinary reasons or leave the Forum early for any reason are not eligible for a refund.
The Youth Interior Design Forum reserves the right to modify, postpone, or cancel a Forum because of low enrollment, health or safety concerns, or other issues including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts or omissions of government authority, compliance with government regulations, or any other cause or event beyond its control.
In the event that the Youth Interior Design Forum postpones the Forum, tuition payments received prior to the postponement will be applied to the new Forum dates. If Student elects to cancel his/her enrollment in a postponed Forum, tuition will be refunded. Any cancellation and/or request for refund must be submitted in writing and signed by the Student according to the schedule stated in the Student Cancellations and Refunds section.
In the event that the Youth Interior Design Forum cancels a Forum, all tuition will be refunded.

I understand that the Forum is a professional setting and, as such, demands the highest standards of behavior. I will conduct myself in a manner that contributes to a sense of community among all students and fosters an atmosphere of mutual respect.
I agree that I will not use tobacco, alcohol, or non-prescription controlled substances during the Forum. I will not engage in any threatening behavior while at the Forum. I also agree to follow the instructions of the Forum staff at all times and participate in all Forum activities.
